Using Jupyter notebooks on the frontends

Remote data analysis, compilations, and short test runs are possible by using Jupyter notebooks. The configuration for a Jupyter notebook server has to be done after loading the python module. As of August 3, 2021 the system version of python is 3.8.11. To access the python module provided by Anaconda3-2021.05 type in the terminal:

>> module load python/anaconda3

This loads many packages, including ipython, Jupyter and YT. If additional packages are needed in the Anaconda environment, contact Andrius.

       http://localhost:####/lab?token=26d5c6636d8c325a3f8e1570555d3a3a7c5bcac6c14f40e9
    or http://127.0.0.1:####/lab?token=26d5c6636d8c325a3f8e1570555d3a3a7c5bcac6c14f40e9"
