Using JupyterHub and JupyterLab
JupyterLab is the next-generation of Jupyter notebooks. It is setup in a multi-user fashion using the JupyterHub web application. Logging in
To log in, just go to JupyterHub link. You will need to enter your username and password to log in.
To log out, select Hub, then Log Out from the JupyterHub interface.
The JupyterHub interface
JupyterHub provides two ways of working: using Jupyter Notebooks (you create a notebook and execute code as a set of “cells”, with results and documentation appearing inline), or as a more traditional text editor and IPython console.
To start a new notebook, select the Python 3 option from the menu. To execute a cell, enter the code you want to run and press Shift-Enter.
To start a new script, create a new file in the text editor and save it with an extension of “.py”. Right-clicking on the text editor will let you create a new Python 3 console for your session. You can execute code line-by-line using Shift-Enter.
More information about the JupyterHub interface can be found here. Adding new Jupyter kernels
JupyterHub is a web interface that sends commands to Python process running in the background. This Python process, called a kernel, is what is actually executing your code. We’ve setup JupyterHub with a few common kernels for common Python configurations and R. If you want to add a kernel (from say a custom Python environment or other programming language), follow the instructions for your kernel from here.
For simple cases (you just want to add a new Python kernel for a custom Python environment), follow the process here:
- create a new conda environment called "kerneltest" and add it to Jupyterhub
conda create -n kerneltest source activate kerneltest conda install pandas ipykernel # demo environment with pandas and ipykernel
- you need to name the kernel or else it will hide the default python3 one!!!
python -m ipykernel install --user --name kerneltest
- login to jupyterhub, restart your server through the control panel
- kernel is now available through jupyterhub
