Table of Contents

1. Specification

  • Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

2. Basic Installation of Anaconda

Answer during installation with yes two times 

    
      wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64.sh
      bash ./Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64.sh
      source ~/.bashrc

3. Configuration of Jupyter as Notebook Server

For more details see https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/public_server.html 

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Following entries need to be modified (not secure!) /home/dak/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py 

# Set ip to '*' to bind on all interfaces (ips) for the public server
c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.token = ''
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False

# It is a good idea to set a known, fixed port for server access
c.NotebookApp.port = 9999

Start the server 

jupyter-lab
