5 Your first jupyter notebook
 Let's create a directory and make this directory the default working directory for our notebooks
(py3) [email protected]:~$ mkdir -p ISP/Python
 We now generate a config file for your notebooks
(py3) [email protected]:~$ jupyter notebook --generate-config
Writing default config to: /home/curro/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
(py3) [email protected]:~$ ls ~/.jupyter/
jupyter_notebook_config.py
 This creates the file jupyter_notebook_config.py. Open this file in a text editor and replace the line
#c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = ''
 by
c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'ISP/Python'
 You launch a notebook with the command
(py3) [email protected]:~$ jupyter notebook
