How do you run the notebook server for the Github (developers) code?

[Timothy Hogan]

I am looking to help develop for the Jupyter project. I downloaded the code from Github, but don't know how to start the server.

I can start the server for the packaged code, downloaded from pip or conda.

I imagine its as simple as starting the Tornado server, for example in Django it would be “python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"

According to the tornado docs, Tornado includes its own HTTPServer. Do I also need to set up ZeroMQ?

I see there is a folder with “scripts”, which line up with the same commands as the binaries. They are written in python, but don't run

I see in /notebook there is a “notebookapp.py” but when this runs I get

ImportError: cannot import name DEFAULT_STATIC_FILES_PATH

What resources are out there to set up the development environment? 

I greatly appreciate any help.

Hi Timothy,

You seem to have already all the right things packaged and cloned.

`cd` into the cloned repository of notebook, and issue the following command:

> pip install -e .

now `jupyter notebook` should run the development version.

Is that what you are trying to do ?

Cheers,
