An extensible environment for interactive and reproducible computing, based on the Jupyter Notebook and Architecture. Currently ready for users.
JupyterLab is the next-generation user interface for Project Jupyter offering all the familiar building blocks of the classic Jupyter Notebook (notebook, terminal, text editor, file browser, rich outputs, etc.) in a flexible and powerful user interface. JupyterLab will eventually replace the classic Jupyter Notebook.
JupyterLab can be extended using npm packages that use our public APIs. To find JupyterLab extensions, search for the npm keyword jupyterlab-extension or the GitHub topic jupyterlab-extension. To learn more about extensions, see the user documentation.
The current JupyterLab releases are suitable for general usage, and the extension APIs will continue to evolve for JupyterLab extension developers.
Read the latest version's documentation on ReadTheDocs.
JupyterLab can be installed using conda or pip. For more detailed instructions, consult the installation guide.
Project installation instructions from the git sources are available in the contributor documentation.
If you use conda, you can install it with:
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlabIf you use pip, you can install it with:
pip install jupyterlabIf installing using pip install --user, you must add the user-level bin directory to your PATH environment variable in order to launch jupyter lab. If you are using a Unix derivative (FreeBSD, GNU / Linux, OS X), you can achieve this by using export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" command.
When using a version of Jupyter Notebook earlier than 5.3, the following command must be run after installation to enable the JupyterLab server extension:
jupyter serverextension enable --py jupyterlab --sys-prefixStart up JupyterLab using:
jupyter labJupyterLab will open automatically in the browser. See the documentation for additional details.
If you encounter an error like "Command 'jupyter' not found", please make sure PATH environment variable is set correctly. Alternatively, you can start up JupyterLab using ~/.local/bin/jupyter lab without changing the PATH environment variable.
Jupyter notebook version 4.3 or later is required. To check the notebook version, run the command:
jupyter notebook --versionThe latest versions of the following browsers are currently known to work:
- Firefox
- Chrome
- Safari
See our documentation for additional details.
We encourage you to ask questions on the Discourse forum. A question answered there can become a useful resource for others.
To report a bug please read the guidelines and then open a Github issue. To keep resolved issues self-contained, the lock bot will lock closed issues as resolved after a period of inactivity. If related discussion is still needed after an issue is locked, please open a new issue and reference the old issue.
We also welcome suggestions for new features as they help make the project more useful for everyone. To request a feature please use the feature request template.
