Jupyter Notebooks

Description

This catalog item starts a JupyterLab environment in which you can work with Jupyter notebooks.

Jupyter 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.

All users in your Collaborative Organisation can login to the workspace and will then be presented with their own notebook environment.

If needed, we can help you to automatically install certain packages when the workspace is created, so that these are available from inside the Jupyter environment immediately. Please contact us for this. However, you can of course also install your own dependencies from with the Notebook.
