‫Hello, everyone.
‫I hope you have installed Anaconda on your system.
‫So let's get started.
‫First, we will learn how to open jupyter notebook. To open Jupyter notebook
‫There are three different ways.
‫The easiest way is to open it through.
‫anaconda navigator.
‫So let's first open anaconda navigator on the system. We will go to start menu and search for anaconda
‫Navigator.
‫Click on it to open it.
‫It may take two to three minutes to open depending on your system configuration.
‫Once you open anaconda navigator, you will get this homescreen.
‫You can see there are different tools available within Anaconda.
‫So if you scroll, you will see all the tools.
‫But we want to open Jupyter notebook.
‫So we will click on Jupyter notebook, We'll click on launch.
‫Again, it may take two to three minutes to open it, depending on your system.
‫You will not get any additional window of Jupyter notebook.
‫It will directly open in your default browser.
‫So if you are using Chrome it will open in chrome.
‫If we are using Internet Explorer, it will open in Internet Explorer.
‫The screen you are seeing is the home screen of Jupyter notebook.
‫The files and folders you are seeing here are the files and folder present in your default directory.
‫You can also navigate through this folders to open any python notebook that you have in this folders.
‫For example, I have this notebooks lecture, one lecture to be processing and my default directory.
‫I can just click on this to open this notebooks.
‫You can notice the extension of Jupyter notebooks.
‫are ipynb
‫It means I python notebooks.
‫So all the python notebooks that you are saving through Jupyter notebook, they will all have this
‫extension.
‫Now, this is the first method to open Jupyter notebook.
‫And this is the easiest method.
‫Now, let's move on to the second method.
‫We'll close this, we will also close this anaconda navigator.
‫The second way to open Jupyter notebook is by anaconda prompt.
‫So just search for Anaconda prompt in your search.
‫bar
‫Click on it.
‫Anaconda prompt will open this black window.
‫Here you can see this C
‫Users\abhis is your current directory.
‫You will be getting your current default directory in your own system.[ In front of this.
‫We just have to write Jupyter notebook.
‫We'll write Jupyter notebook
‫and hit enter.
‫It may take two to three minutes.
‫So just like with the previous method, you will be able to see your Jupyter notebook homescreen in the
‫new tab of your Web browser.
‫Now let's move on to the third method.
‫The third method of opening Jupyter notebook is by using command prompt.
‫For this, you first have to open the command prompt.
‫If you are not aware of how to open command prompt, you first have to open the run window.
‫You can just press windows R
‫Or you can type run in your search bar
‫Here also, you will get the search result and click on this run.
‫Here to open come on from this front window, we have to write cmd. We will write cmd and click
‫on.
‫Okay.
‫This black window is come on, chrome.
‫It is looking similar to anaconda prompt
‫This directory is your default directory.
‫And here also, just like with anaconda prompt, you have to write Jupyter notebook.
‫And hit enter.
‫This will also open the Jupyter notebook in your Web browser
‫just like the previous methods as I told you earlier, these are the files and folders that
‫are present in your default directory.
‫And if you want to open Jupyter notebook outside this default directory, you can change the directory
‫from the command prompt by writing cd
‫So we'll close the Jupyter notebook.
‫To change, the directory will write cd
‫And then after a space, will mention the location of new folder.
‫Hit enter.
‫You can see earlier my default directory was user abhis
‫Now, I have moved there this directly to this new location.
‫The folder I created in the desktop.
‫And just like with our previous method, I will write Jupyter
‫notebook.
‫You can see now our default directory of this Jupyter notebook is our new folder, which
‫is new location.
‫And you can see as the folder was empty
‫There are no notebooks present here while previously in our default directory.
‫There were several notebooks and folders.
‫This will be helpful to you if your notebooks are present in some other drive or some other directory
‫other than your default directory or if you want to save your files
‫into some particular folder outside your default directory.
‫Also note that this third method of opening jupyter notebook from command prompt, may not work
‫in your system.
‫You may have to change some system variables, make it work.
‫I will post the method to change those system variables in a separate lecture so that you can use this
‫method also to open Jupyter notebook.
‫You can check that lecture if you want, but that is totally optional for this course.
‫For now, I will recommend you to use this default directory and open Jupyter notebook by the first
‫method of anaconda Navigator.
‫If you want, you can just create a folder in this default directory and save all your files there. In
‫the next lecture.
‫I will tell you how to find this default directory in your system.
‫And in the rest of the lecture, we'll be only using First method, which is opening Jupyter notebook
‫from anaconda Navigator to open Jupyter notebook.
‫Anaconda also comes with spider.
‫So if you do not want to use Jupyter note book you can use default Python window. To do that.
‫You can launch spider instead of Jupyter notebook
‫form Anaconda navigator
‫But in my personal opinion, Jupyter notebook is much better than spider for beginners.
‫And the first time users.
‫And that's why we will be only using Jupyter notebook for this course. In the next video.
‫I will tell you some basic syntax of Python and how to use Jupyter notebook with its different
‫features.
‫Thank you.
