How to start “jupyter notebook” and “spyder” without installing “anaconda”….?
Today I have come up with some new concepts related to one of the most popular languages in the current scenario. Yes, I’m talking about the Python language …
So let’s come to the point. There are many online courses and offline courses available for python and of course for other languages also. In general, all mentors are using “jupyter-notebook” or “spyder” IDLE, and they advised students to install “anaconda” (https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.02-Windows-x86_64.exe).
But the file size of “anaconda” is approx 466 MB, and after taking its swapping space from the “Operating System”, it's gonna be increased up to 500 MB. But you guys thought that it is okay, why I’m talking about this?…
Yes, you guys are right, but one thing you should be noticed is that the system performance and itself “anaconda” performance is too slow, that’s why sometimes our “anaconda” is not responding as usual. And another reason is that when you guys create an environment either for “anaconda” or for a new project within “anaconda” space or environments, all modules which you can install, are only applicable in the “anaconda virtual environment”, but what happens if you want to use all these modules outside the environment?… You can reinstall those modules once again outside of that environment, which takes double the size and a lot of time, which is not a good practice for a developer.
But don’t worry about this we going to try a new installation process for “jupyter notebook” and “spyder”. After this process, all problems are removed automatically.
So, first of all, open our terminal (cmd) (command prompt), and run the following command:-
pip install jupyter notebook (for installing the jupyter notebook IDLE)
After this command, you can see that your “jupyter notebook” is starting to install in your system without any other external folders or files.
Now it is time to move on to our next target which is “spyder”… For “spyder” run the following command in your terminal:-
pip install spyder (for installing the spyder IDLE)
If you guys already installed these modules, then you can get a “requirement already satisfied” message in cmd (terminal).
The above process shows how to install our required IDLE, but the problem is how we start these IDLE.
So for initializing our IDLE, you can run the following command in your terminal:-
- jupyter notebook (for jupyter notebook IDLE)
2. spyder3 (for spyder IDLE)
One thing about these processes is important that you can directly install any modules without any virtual environment(except a based environment) in the system for any project. You can use any modules which are simply installed with the terminal via a python packages installation process (pip) in “jupyter” and “spyder” both without re-installation of those modules.
