Overview of this book

The Jupyter Notebook allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and explanatory text. The Jupyter Notebook system is extensively used in domains such as data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, and machine learning. Learning Jupyter 5 will help you get to grips with interactive computing using real-world examples. The book starts with a detailed overview of the Jupyter Notebook system and its installation in different environments. Next, you will learn to integrate the Jupyter system with different programming languages such as R, Python, Java, JavaScript, and Julia, and explore various versions and packages that are compatible with the Notebook system. Moving ahead, you will master interactive widgets and namespaces and work with Jupyter in a multi-user mode. By the end of this book, you will have used Jupyter with a big dataset and be able to apply all the functionalities you’ve explored throughout the book. You will also have learned all about the Jupyter Notebook and be able to start performing data transformation, numerical simulation, and data visualization.

Adding Julia scripting to your installation


We will install Julia on macOS and Windows. There are very similar steps in both environments due to using Anaconda as the basis for the installation.

Adding Julia scripts to Jupyter

Once Julia is available on your machine, enabling Julia within Jupyter is readily accomplished.

 

First, we need to install Julia on our Windows machine. Navigate to the Julia download page (http://julialang.org/downloads/), download the correct version, which is Julia 0.6.1 for most environments, and run the installation with the standard default settings.

Note

You must run the Julia installation as an Administrator on your machine. After downloading the file, open the Downloads folder, right-click on the Julia executable, and select Run as administrator.

Once the install is complete, you should verify that everything worked. Select Julia from the programs list and run the Julia program. You should see the command line with Julia displayed, as shown in the following screenshot...
