Setting up Jupyter Notebook

Windows Miniconda Go to the Miniconda Downloads page. Download the appropriate (32- or 64-Bit) Python 3.X version of Miniconda.

Double click on the .exe file and click Install. Read and agree to the licensing terms. Select if you want to install for ‘Just Me’ or ‘All Users’. If you are installing for ‘All Users’, you must have Administrator privileges. You will be prompted to select the installation location. By default, Anaconda should try to install in your home directory. We recommend accepting this default. Click Install. You will be asked if you want to add Anaconda to your PATH environment variable. Do not add Anaconda to the PATH because it can interfere with other software. You will be asked if you want Anaconda to be your default version of Python. We recommend ‘Yes’. There are some rare instances where you might not make Anaconda the default version, but they are beyond the scope of this article. Click the Install button.

Now we need to install a few key packages. In the Anaconda Prompt, type

conda install jupyter

Once the installation completes, in the Anaconda Prompt, type:

jupyter notebook
