Commands to connect linux server to jupyter notebook on web browser for easier coding life

Install Jupyter notebook

Install jupyter notebook on the server by simply run

1
pip install jupyter

Run in background session

If you want to run it as a background session, run

1
screen -S jupyter-on-fly

and press Ctrl+a+d to detach

Password setting and conncetion

Set password

1
2
3
4
jupyter notebook --generate-config
jupyter notebook password
Enter password:  ****
Verify password: ****

and you’re on the right path if it shows the following

1
[NotebookPasswordApp] Wrote hashed password to /Users/you/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.json

Connect server to notebook

1
jupyter notebook --ip=[server_ip_address] --port=8888 --allow-root --no-browser

For example

1
jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8888 --allow-root --no-browser

Connect to web browser

Use your webbrowser to connect

http://[server_ip_address]:8888/

and type the password you set at the previous step

Import virtual environment

If you wish to use any virtual environment in Jupyter notebook, first intall ipykernel

1
2
pip install --user ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=[your-env-name]

It should print this if you do it correctly
1
Installed kernelspec [your-env-name] in ~/jupyter/kernels/[your-env-name]

You will be able to see something like this (for me I have virtual environment called “rdenv” for rdkit)

If you want to uninstall, just simply write

1
2
pip install --user ipykernel
jupyter kernelspec uninstall [your-env-name]

(Optional) connect the server from other IP address

If you want to login this notebook with any IP, find jupyter_notebook_config.py at ~/.jupyter
and change the following line (around line 204):

1
2
c.NotebookApp.allow_origin = '*' # line 48
c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0'  # line 204
