Jupyter Notebooks on S3DF

These are steps for running a jupyter notebook on S3DF via juptyerlab. These instructions assume a first time setup of connecting to s3df.

1. Get a S3DF account
2. Wait for approval

3. Ssh into s3df login node with port forwarding (5555 can be changed to any preferred port):

    ssh -L 5555:localhost:5555 <SLAC UNIX USERNAME>@s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu

4. Connect to Iana :

    ssh -L 5555:localhost:5555 iana

5. Activate conda env: 

   conda activate <CONDA ENV>

6. ** do only first time ** install jupyter lab if not installed: 

   conda install jupyterlab

7. Run jupyter and click on the link to open in your browser:

 jupyter lab --no-browser --port 5555 

You can also use mamba instead of conda for a faster time creating environments. Mamba is used by first installing miniconda and then using the mamba command instead of the conda command.
