JupyterLab is a web-based interactive development environment for working with Jupyter notebooks, code and data. It can be installed on different operating systems including Alpine Linux. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing JupyterLab on Alpine Linux latest.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following requirements:
The first thing to do is to update your Alpine Linux system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
The command updates the package lists and upgrades your installed packages to the latest version.
In order to install JupyterLab, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command:
sudo apk add gcc g++ python3-dev musl-dev make
This command installs gcc, g++, python3-dev, musl-dev and make. gcc and g++ are compilers. python3-dev is a package that contains header files for Python 3. musl-dev is a standard library package for Alpine Linux, and make is a build tool.
Next, install Python by running the following command:
sudo apk add python3
This command installs Python 3 on your computer.
Now we are ready to install JupyterLab. To do this, run the following command:
pip3 install jupyterlab
This command installs JupyterLab and its dependencies.
Finally, start JupyterLab by running the following command:
jupyter lab
This command starts a JupyterLab server instance and opens your default web browser with the JupyterLab interface.
You can now create, edit, and run Jupyter notebooks, as well as write and execute regular code files in different programming languages.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install JupyterLab on Alpine Linux latest. By installing JupyterLab, you gain access to a powerful and flexible development environment for data science and coding.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
