Anaconda

Anaconda is a free and open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages for data science and machine learning related applications.

En otras palabras, Anaconda puede ser visto como un paquete (a distribution) que incluye no solo Python (or R) but many libraries that are used in Data Science, as well as its own virtual environment system. It's an "all-in-one" install that is extremely popular in data science and Machine Learning.


Anaconda comes with a few IDE:

  • Jupyter Lab
  • Jupyter Notebook
  • Spyder
  • Qtconsole
  • and others



Jupyter

Jupyter comes with Anaconda. It is a development environment (IDE) where we can write codes; but it also allows us to display images, and write down markdown notes.

Extensions

This post mention so nice extension and configuration that can be done: https://towardsdatascience.com/bringing-the-best-out-of-jupyter-notebooks-for-data-science-f0871519ca29


Unofficial Jupyter Notebook Extensions

https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

This is very important. There are very nice extensions in this package:


Installation

https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

I had some issues to install it. La format indicada por defecto:

pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user

A través de la forma anterior no pude instalar el paquete de forma correcta. La instalación no retornó errorres, y la extensión se mostraba en Jupyter-notebook pero no podía activar "enable" las extensiones.


Al parecer es un problema con la ubicación de la instalación. Yo estaba usando conda pero conda está presentando problemas. La instalación de los paquestes demora muchísimo y luego el paquete parece no estar disponible.


En el siguiente post encontré una solución para instalar nbextension usando pip: https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/issues/1127

pip install --upgrade jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install  --sys-prefix  --symlink

«--symlink» creo que lo usé pero no estoy completamente seguro. También realicé el --upgrade pero creo que la diferencia la hicieron las opciones --sys-prefix --symlink


Si no se muestra la Nbextensions tab (), try to reinstall the https://github.com/Jupyter-contrib/jupyter_nbextensions_configurator

pip install jupyter_nbextensions_configurator

or

conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_nbextensions_configurator

Verificar las fuentes above. Creo que lo único que tuve que hacer la última vez que lo instalé fue basado en las 3 primeras sources:

pip install ipython-sql

sudo apt install default-libmysqlclient-dev

pip install mysqlclient

sudo apt-get install python3-mysqldb


Luego adding SQL syntax highlighting to Jupyter as describe above in the corrrespoinding source.
