How to install JupyterLab on Ubuntu Server Latest?

JupyterLab is an open-source web-based interactive development environment that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install JupyterLab on Ubuntu Server Latest with the following steps:

  1. Update Ubuntu Packages
  2. Install Python3 and pip3
  3. Install JupyterLab
  4. Start JupyterLab

Step 1: Update Ubuntu Packages

Before installing JupyterLab, it is recommended to update the packages in Ubuntu using the following command:

sudo apt-get update

Step 2: Install Python3 and pip3

JupyterLab requires a Python 3.3 or greater version to be installed. The 'pip3' package manager is used to install Python packages. You can install 'python3' and 'pip3' as below:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip -y

Step 3: Install JupyterLab

Once Python and pip are installed, we can install JupyterLab using pip3:

sudo pip3 install jupyterlab

Step 4: Start JupyterLab

After the installation is complete, you can launch JupyterLab by running the following command:

jupyter-lab --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8888 --no-browser

This will start the JupyterLab application on port 8888 and open it to all IP addresses (0.0.0.0). Note that the "--no-browser" option means that it doesn't open a browser window automatically.

Now, you can access JupyterLab on your Ubuntu Server by entering the following URL in your web browser:

http://<server-ip>:8888/lab

If you are accessing JupyterLab from a remote machine, replace "" with the IP address of your Ubuntu Server.

Conclusion: You’ve learned how to install JupyterLab on Ubuntu Server Latest, run the JupyterLab command to start the application, and access the application using the provided URL.

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!
