Appendix: Using tmpnb.org or try.jupyter.org¶
Get an active notebook running¶
- Go to tmpnb.org or
try.jupyter.org and you’ll see a
dashboard
like below.
- If you already have a notebook file, click
upload
on the upper right side of the dashboard, and then point the browser at your file.
Click okay
and then the notebook will show the name of your file at
the top of the dashboard
. Click the upload
button next to that
to actually upload.
Once uploaded, click on it in the list of notebooks to launch.
In the example above, the uploaded notebook
Jupyter Notebook Basics.ipynb
is now ready to be clicked on to
initiate launch.
- If you have no notebook, select one from the list or click
New
