Some notes to get ipython notebook running on Ubuntu. (Hope this is much easier by the next time I need to do it!)
- Install ZeroMQ from source:
wget http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-3.1.0-beta.tar.gz sudo apt-get install uuid-dev tar xvfz zeromq-2.1.11.tar.gz cd zeromq-2.1.11/ ./configure sudo make install sudo ldconfig
easy_installipython and the notebook dependencies:virtualenv env_ipython source env_ipython/bin/activate easy_install ipython[zmq,test] easy_install tornado # did I miss anything? easy_install that, too
- Then see if this works:
ipython notebook --pylab inline
It does for me… I believe this was worth the effort!
Thank you very much, I wish I had found your script sooner.
I had to use “source env_ipython/bin/activate”.
Rad.
Glad it helped! You’re right, virtualenv requires “source” to activate. I’ve updated the recipe.
