A Jupyter Notebook is a versatile, web-based interactive computing platform used primarily for data science and scientific computing. It allows users to create and share documents, also referred to as Notebooks, that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. By combining code execution with text elements, Jupyter Notebooks facilitate an intuitive and cohesive workflow, enabling users to document their thought processes, visualize data, and share their findings seamlessly.
An example of a Jupyter environment with an open notebook.
Follow the steps below:
- Open up JupyterHub, e.g. at: https://www.mdps.mcp.nasa.gov:4443/unity/ops/jupyter/
- NOTE: Link will vary depending on the “project/venue” that you’re using. For this tutorial, the “project/venue” is “unity/ops”.
2. Log in using your Unity Cognito Account as shown in the figure below.
- This is the account that you set up in Step 1 under “Setup your Access”.
- Select the “Unity - Datascience Environment” Server, and select “Start” to begin your session as shown in the figure below:
You will see a loading screen and then the Jupyter environment will display.
