The Jupyter Notebook is an open source web application that enables you to create documents that contain runnable code, text, equations, and visualizations. Jupyter supports IPython kernel to allow you to write/prototype programs in Python. You can also use other kernels (e.g., R and Julia .. etc) with Jupyter notebooks.\n", "\n", "The Jupyter Notebook combines three components:\n", "\n", "- **Notebook web app:** An interactive web application to edit code in the browser, run code from the browser, see the results of running the code in the browser, create and use interactive widgets, and author narrative text and equations. \n", "- **Kernels:** Processes launched by the notebook web app that runs code in a specific language and handles interactive widgets and tab completion. The default kernel runs Python code. \n", "- **Notebook documents:** Documents that contain visible content in the notebook web app, including inputs and outputs of an interactive session, narrative text, equations, and images, and rich media representations of objects. Each notebook document has its own kernel. Notebook documents are files with a `.ipynb` extension Internally, notebook documents are `json` data with binary output encoded." ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "id": "994ee7f3", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "### Running a Jupyter notebook tutorial\n", "\n", "ShapeWorks installs Jupyter for you.
