You can launch a notebook with the command
(py3) [email protected]:~$ jupyter notebook
[I 19:43:36.145 NotebookApp] Writing notebook server cookie secret to /home/curro/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/notebook_cookie_secret
[I 19:43:37.193 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /home/curro
[I 19:43:37.194 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at:
[I 19:43:37.195 NotebookApp] http://localhost:8888/?token=42d493626e94c6f5c1ae2d7cdcd300075b584cbe20b62f72

[I 19:43:37.196 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).
[C 19:43:37.283 NotebookApp]
To access the notebook, open this file in a browser:
file:///home/curro/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/nbserver-6617-open.html
Or copy and paste one of these URLs:
http://localhost:8888/?token=42d493626e94c6f5c1ae2d7cdcd300075b584cbe20b62f72
or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=42d493626e94c6f5c1ae2d7cdcd300075b584cbe20b62f72

By default you can only access notebooks and directories below the folder from which you run the
jupyter notebook command, but not files above this folder. You can alter this default behavior and other jupyter default config options editing the application config file as in the following example.You first 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 file contains the default configuration of
jupyter. In order to create a folder and make this directory the default working directory for our notebooks, you can proceed as follows (not recommended unless you are positive all of your notebooks will be contained in this folder and its subfolders(py3) [email protected]:~$ mkdir ~/Python
You should then open the
jupyter_notebook_config.py file in a text editor and replace the line#c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = ''
by
c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'ISP/Python'
The most important command in this case is
conda update --all
This will update all packages in the current environment. You can also update a selected package or packages (and dependencies) as follows
conda update numpy scipy
Again this will only affect the current environment.
