In this video, I'm going to show you how to set up a local environment so you can run Jupyter locally and access the notebooks.
0:07
I've checked out my repo into a directory and what I need to do is make a virtual environment.
0:13
I'm going to demo this from a Unix machine, but if you are running this from Windows, you will need to create a virtual environment on Windows.
0:22
The commands to create the virtual environment are similar. The command to activate the virtual environment is different in Windows.
0:28
So here's how you would do it on a Unix platform, Mac or Linux. I'm going to say python3-mvenv and then the name of the virtual environment.
0:42
I'm just going to make it in the local directory called env. At this point, I need to activate this on Unix systems.
0:49
I'm going to say source-env-activate and you can see that my prompt has changed. If I was on Windows, I would say env-scripts-activate.
1:02
There's a batch command that I would run to do that. At this point, all I need to do is install my libraries.
1:12
If you look in the directory here, there's a requirements.txt file. I'm going to say pip install-r requirements.txt.
1:27
After that is done, I should have Jupyter. I can say on Unix systems, which Jupyter and that tells me that I've installed this in
1:36
my virtual environment. On Windows, you would say where Jupyter. At this point, I'm going to launch Jupyter and say Jupyter Space Lab.
1:47
At this point, you should see something like this. Here are the notebooks.

We can click on student01 and you can come down here and you can run this cell. You can see that that worked. you
