Jupyter

  1. Connect via SSH (or the Google Cloud Console) to your virtual machine.

  2. Before we install Jupyter, let's get pip. Run the following, and enter "Y" when prompted:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install python3-pip

The apt program lets you install software on an Ubuntu system; think of it like pip, for more general (you can install stuff not related to Python). Putting sudo in front of the command means "do this as a super user". You're signed in as a regular user, without permission to install software by default, so you'll use sudo often for installing tools and other tasks.

  1. Now let's use pip3 to install Jupyter (don't use sudo for this one):

pip3 install jupyter

  1. When you start Jupyter notebook remotely, you'll want to set a password for connecting to it. Make it a good one, or anybody will be able to take over your VM! (Whenever you need to enter something, like a password, in the terminal, don't worry if nothing is appearing as you're typing. Your keystrokes are still registering; the terminal just isn't displaying them!) Run the following:
mkdir -p ~/.jupyter
python3 -m notebook password
  1. Now let's start Jupyter. Run the following:

nohup python3 -m notebook --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=2020

  1. Now, open up a new browser window, and type IP:2020 for the URL (IP should be the External IP of the virtual machine). You can enter the same password that you set in step 4:

  1. After you login, make sure the setup works (e.g., you can create a notebook and run code).

Good work on getting Jupyter running on your virtual machine! We suggest you bookmark the login page so you can come back to it later.
