Installing Jupyter Notebook

please refer to this article if you want to learn the basics of machine learning. The present article helps you set your machine ready for a beautiful journey of ML universe.

What is Jupyter notebook?

The Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and much more.

Before we proceed ahead, let’s install Jupyter notebook one of the best tools to run necessary machine learning code.

Prerequisite: Python

While Jupyter runs code in many programming languages, Python is a requirement (Python 3.3 or higher, or Python 2.7) for installing the Jupyter Notebook.

Installing Jupyter notebook using Python in Windows

Important Note-

Jupyter installation requires Python 3.3 or higher, or Python 2.7. IPython 1.x, which included the parts that later became Jupyter, was the last version to support Python 3.2 and 2.6.

As an existing Python user, you may wish to install Jupyter using Python’s package manager, pip, instead of Anaconda.

First, ensure that you have the latest pip; older versions may have trouble with some dependencies:

pip3 install --upgrade pip

Then install the Jupyter Notebook using in your cmd: some users may face issues with pip command, please check this link

pip3 install jupyter

(Use pip if using legacy Python 2.)

Congratulations. You have installed Jupyter Notebook. See Running the Notebook for more details. Now we are ready to run our basic linear regression code.

Installing Jupyter using Anaconda and conda

For new users, we highly recommend installing Anaconda. Anaconda conveniently installs Python, the Jupyter Notebook, and other commonly used packages for scientific computing and data science.

Use the following installation steps:

1. Download Anaconda. We recommend downloading Anaconda’s latest Python 3 version (currently Python 3.5).
2. Install the version of Anaconda which you downloaded, following the instructions on the download page.
3. Congratulations, you have installed Jupyter Notebook. To run the notebook:

• jupyter notebook

See Running the Notebook for more details.
