Setup

In order to work locally with the examples provided in this book, you will need to install python and jupyter notebook. You can install them by following the instructions below.

Installing Conda and Mamba

You can install conda using alternatively:

1. Anaconda. Then, install mamba using:

   conda install -c conda-forge mamba
   

2. Or Miniforge, you may need to have a look at the Miniforge documentation for more information. Mamba is already included in Miniforge.

Environment setup

Create an environment with the following command:

1. Download the environment file positron_env.yaml and put it in the current folder.

2. Run the following command:

   mamba env create --file=positron_env.yaml
   

   If you don’t have mamba installed, you can use conda instead:

   conda env create --file=positron_env.yaml
   

   The install process will just be a bit slower.

3. Activate the environment:

   conda activate positron
   

Run all examples locally

At this point, you should have all the necessary packages installed. You can run Jupyter Lab with the following command:

jupyter lab

And Jupyter Notebook with:

jupyter notebook
