Prerequisites for installing Jupyter Notebook

Before starting the installation, please make sure you have the following conditions:

• Python: Enter python --version in the terminal to check if it is installed. If not, please go to the Python official website to download and install.
• pip: This is a commonly used Python package manager that is usually installed with Python. Enter pip --version in the terminal to check if it is installed. Please refer to the installation method: How to install pip on Mac.
• Homebrew (optional): Homebrew is a package manager that helps you manage applications and keep your system clean. Although not required, it is very useful. Please refer to the installation method: How to install Homebrew on Mac.
• Anaconda (recommended): If you need a complete data science environment, it is recommended to install Anaconda. It contains Jupyter Notebook as well as many other useful libraries and tools.

Before starting to install Jupyter Notebook, try Path Finder. This friendly app helps you browse your Mac's file system easily, especially when dealing with multiple project folders or files related to Jupyter projects, it saves a lot of time.

Change the default file manager: In Path Finder, open Settings > General, and select Set as default file browser.

Install Jupyter Notebook using pip

This is the easiest way. Install Jupyter Notebook with pip, just follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Enter the following command: pip install jupyter
After the installation is complete, use
3. to verify the installation. jupyter --version
Enter
4. Start Jupyter Notebook. jupyter notebook

Tip: Another app I recommend is SnippetsLab, which helps me store and manage code snippets. It is very challenging for programmers to remember all the commonly used command syntax or code snippets. SnippetsLab allows you to classify code snippets, making it easy to find quickly and save time and effort.

Install Jupyter Notebook using setup.py

If you like custom settings, installing Jupyter Notebook using the setup.py file is a good choice. This method allows you to access the latest features directly from the source code and customize settings to your liking.

Of course, you need to be familiar with command line operations. If you are not familiar with the command line, this approach can be more complicated. But if you need more control, the setup.py method is a good choice.

1. Clone Jupyter Notebook repository: git clone https://github.com/jupyter/notebook.git
2. Enter the cloned directory: cd notebook
3. Run the installation command: python setup.py install

After the installation is complete, please check that everything is OK and start the Jupyter Notebook.

If you want to test Python scripts during development, you can try CodeRunner. It allows you to run scripts in multiple programming languages ??in a user-friendly interface, making it easy to quickly test small pieces of code.
