# Installing Jupyter with Conda

The flight environment will need to be activated before the environments can be created so be sure to run flight start or setup your environment to automatically activate the flight environment.

Create a conda software environment:

[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env create conda

Activate the environment:

[flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ flight env activate conda

Install Jupyter:

<conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ conda install jupyter

Install Notebook dependencies:

<conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ conda install matplotlib
<conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ conda install folium -c conda-forge

# Launch a Jupyter Notebook

These commands will need to be run from a graphical desktop session as it will launch a web browser. For more information on launching desktops, see the Flight Desktop section

Download the example notebook:

<conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ curl -L https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/_downloads/12e9fb0f1c062494259ce630607cfc87/notebooks.ipynb > notebooks.ipynb

Launch the notebook:

<conda> [flight@chead1 (mycluster1) ~]$ jupyter notebook notebooks.ipynb

A web browser will launch with the notebook displayed
