Simple instructions to start a Jupyter notebook using a virtualenv environment in Python 3.
# If pip3 is not installed, install it
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
# Upgrade
pip3 install --upgrade pip
# If virtualenv is not installed, install it
# Feel free to use either pip or pip3, doesn't matter
pip install virtualenv
# Move to the folder and create the virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 <my-virtualenv-name>
# Activate the virtualenv
source <my-virtualenv-name>/bin/activate
# Install Jupyter
pip3 install jupyter
# Install spaCy
pip install spacy
# Install scipy, needed for some examples
pip install scipy
# Install spaCy English models
python -m spacy download en
python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg
# Run Jupyter (from withing the folder with the virtualenv folder)

--SlidesExporter.reveal_theme=serif
--SlidesExporter.reveal_scroll=True
--SlidesExporter.reveal_transition=noneBrief overview of configuration used :
- SlidesExporter.reveal_theme: sets the theme to serif. https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/tree/master/css/theme has list of themes that ship by default with reveal.js: night, simple, sky, league, blood...
- SlidesExporter.reveal_scroll: sets the scrolling option to True. For big images or long cells scrolling options are helpful. It’s also helpful for visualizing dataframes.
- SlidesExporter.reveal_transition: Sets the transition to None. I don’t like to use any transition effect because adding them creates a sort of jerkiness to the screen which I believe to be unsuitable for code. The optins are : none, fade, slide, convex, concave and zoom.
