Jupyter notebook

Using a Jupyter notebook on SSRDE

Using an Anaconda environment (see here for guide: https://sscf.ucsd.edu/ssrde/learning-resources/anaconda), install the the "jupyter" package:

conda install jupyter

Once the installation completes, in your command prompt type:

jupyter notebook

After entering the "jupyter notebook" command, you will need to find the port number from the output to be able to configure your SSH tunnel. From the above example, the port is 8888.

Setting up SSH tunnel to SSRDE

On Mac, use a new Terminal to create the SSH tunnel by following this format:

ssh -L <port>:localhost:<port> <username>@remoteServer.ucsd.edu

From the previous example, my command would be:

ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 sscf-silas@ssrde.ucsd.edu

Connecting to your Jupyter notebook

After the SSH tunnel connection is created, you can now connect to your Jupyter notebook from your local Mac's web browser. In your favorite web browser, copy and paste the URL from the "jupyter notebook" command output into the address bar.

From the previous example, the URL that I paste into my address bar is:

http://localhost:8888/?token=210164214d3ef5610095ea892ec8c1d57f25623c0e0f8f04
