This tutorial provides a whirlwind introduction to the basic of the Python language and how to use JupyterLab. All other tutorials require some command of Python and will use Jupyter Notebooks for teaching. So, if you are new to Python and/or Jupyter, you should definitely attend this tutorial. I will adjust the topics to the needs of attendees. Prepare for 90 intensive minutes. You will learn something new and useful.
Please install JupyterLab before the tutorial. Depending on the way you install Python packages you chose on of these options:
pip install jupyterlab
or
conda install jupyterlab
or
mamba install jupyterlab
or
pixi add jupyterlab
or
uv add jupyterlab
or
Your own way.
I use Pixi. If you like to try it, please install and create an environment:
pixi init jupyterlab_tutorial
cd jupyterlab_tutorial
pixi add jupyterlab python=3.13
pixi shell
No matter what installation method you use, you can start JupyterLab with:
jupyter-lab
or
python -m jupyter-lab
none
