What is Jupyter Notebook?

The Jupyter notebook is a web-based notebook environment for interactive computing.

Installing Jupyter Notebook in Ubuntu 20.04

To install Jupyter, first, we need to install pip3, which is a Python Package Installer. For this, update all of the installed packages using the update command:

  • sudo apt update

Use the following command to install pip3:

  • sudo apt install python3-pip

As Pip3 is already installed on my system, we’ll move forward towards the pip upgrade command:

  • sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

Install Jupyter Notebook

  • pip3 install jupyter

To set password for jupyter

  • jupyter notebook password

To acccess Jupyter notebook form local network

  • jupyter notebook --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8888
