Starting a Jupyter notebook session

1. Type jupyter notebook in the terminal or Command Prompt.
2. Open your favorite browser.
3. Type in localhost:8888 as the URL.

To specify the port, such as when running multiple notebook instances on one or more machines, you can do so with the --port={port number} option.

For a notebook on remote servers, you can use SSH for port forwarding. Just specify the –L option with {port number}:localhost:{port number} during connection, as follows:

ssh –L 8888:localhost:8888 smith@remoteserver

The Jupyter Notebook home page will show up, listing files in your current directory. Notebook files are denoted by a book logo. Running notebooks are marked in green.
