How to setup virtualenv and Jupyter Notebooks

jupyter_virtualenv_notebooks.txt

1. Install kernelspec for python3

Make sure it is not there

jupyter kernelspec list

jupyter kernelspec install /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.1/bin/

jupyter kernelspec list

2. Using a virtualenv in an IPython notebook

You can use a virtualenv for your IPython notebook. Follow the following steps:

    Install the ipython kernel module into your virtualenv

    workon my-virtualenv-name  # activate your virtualenv, if you haven't already
    pip install ipykernel

    Now run the kernel "self-install" script:

    python -m ipykernel install --user --name=my-virtualenv-name

    Replacing the --name parameter as appropriate.

    You should now be able to see your kernel in the IPython notebook menu: Kernel -> Change kernel and be able so switch to it (you may need to refresh the page before it appears in the list). IPython will remember which kernel to use for that notebook from then on.
