Python in Jupyter

We are going to practice writing and running Python programs (often called "scripts").

Download a Jupyter Notebook

First, start Jupyter as you were instructed to previously. Next, save the file at the following link to your desktop CDSW Jupter test notebook (to save, right click the link and choose "save link as...", make sure you save it on your desktop, and save it as a .ipynb file). Finally, open the notebook in Jupyter. In the Jupyter tab in your browser, navigate to your desktop in the list of folders and click on CDSW_Jupyter_test_notebook.ipynb.

Test the notebook

Following the instructions in the notebook, run the cell (by clicking the "run" button in the tool bar or press "ENTER + SHIFT") that says:

 print("hello world")

You should see "hello world" output right below. If that works you have a working setup for Python and Jupyter. If that doesn't work, you should ask for assistance!

Feel free to play around in the notebook. Try it out and explore!

Success! You have a working Python and Jupyter setup!
