* **Right-click Windows Button** and select **"Run"**



#### 3.1 Check python version

Within the windows Command Prompt, ensure the correct version of python is installed by running python --version






Python uses pip package manager which can be used to install various development software, which we will now use to install jupyter notebook

### 4.0 Install Jupyter Notebook

Use the command: pip install notebook to install jupyter notebook
This will install jupyter notebook and all it's dependencies, wait for installation to complete.






### 5.0 Run Jupyter Notebook

After installation is complete, you can start a jupyter notebook webserver by simply running the command jupyter notebook within command prompt window









### 6.0 Creating new notebook for development

Navigate to an appropriate directory/folder and create a new notebook









## Linux

Check if python is installed:

```console
user@pc:~$ python --version
```
If python isn't installed, refer [here](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-install-python-3-ubuntu) to find installation intructions.

### Installing jupyter notebook

Update and refresh repository list
```console
user@pc:~$ sudo apt update
```

Installing jupyter notebook
```console
user@pc:~$ pip install notebook
```

Run notebook webserver by running the command
```console
user@pc:~$ jupyter notebook
```

The jupyter notebook webserver will start running on your localhost, refer to notebook session instructions for windows to run notebook session within the webserver instance.

### That's it, you're done setting up your system!
