Jupyter notebook is a great platform for creating, sharing and running code. It can be used with multiple coding languages though we will focus only on Python.
Jupyter notebook comes standard with the Anaconda Python package which all computers in 292 should have installed. You can also install that package on your own computer as it is completely free. If you do so, make sure to install version 2.7.
To open Jupyter notebook, look under the folder "Anaconda2 (64-bit)" in Windows start menu (see image to right). Click on "Jupyter Notebook".
An alternative way to run Jupyter notebook is to first open up an Anaconda Prompt. This will allow you to execute DOS commands.
You should be able to find the "Anaconda Prompt" in the start menu on Windows under the "Anaconda2" folder. See the image to the right.
The Anaconda Prompt window should look something like that shown below.
Before proceeding, you should have downloaded the Python notebook file (which will be a file ending with .ipynb). Put that file somewhere on your computer. Then, in the Anaconda Prompt, move into that directory with the "cd" command (see image below).
Then you can run the command "jupyter notebook."
However you go about opening Jupyter Notebook, you should get a new tab appearing in your default internet browser (Chrome, Firefox or whatever) containing something like what is shown below.
You can then click on the notebook file (which should have a .ipynb file extension) to open it. Read through the instructions in that file. You can also find plenty of other documentation on how to use Jupyter notebook and how to use Python.
