  • Install the required python packages on your computer 
    pip3 install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
    # or
    pip3 install --upgrade numpy scipy matplotlib jupyterlab
  • Run Jupyterlab

    # or the classic jupyter notebook
    jupyter-notebook

2. Install python packages via virtualenv​

  • Install required python packages under virtualenv
  • Launch Jupyterlab
  • Once done, deactivate virtualenv 
    deactivate

3. Run on a container​

  • Install Docker
  • Create an image with Python and the required packages installed 
    # build using the Dockerfile included in my github repo:

    # (adjust the Dockerfile according to your needs)
    docker build -t espresso .
  • Run a container with port forwarding
