General Instructions

1. Download the zip file of this gist. Unzip the zip file to a directory and give execution rights to the .sh files using chmod +x *.sh
2. Ensure you are running on a mac and have homebrew installed
3. Ensure you have python(3.9, 3.10, 3.11) installed and is available in the default path. Otherwise, install the versions you want, using brew install python@3.9 or brew install python@3.10 or brew install python@3.11

Installing JupyterLab

Run ./jupyterlab_install.sh and pick the version of python you want. Enter 3.9, or 3.10 or 3.11. You can just hit enter to pick the default, which is Python 3.11

Rest is fairly automated. There are some suggested fonts and customizations. I recommend you go thru them, it will make your Jupyter experience good. You will now have a virtual environment with the version of Python you want and JupyterLab will be installed in it.

Running JupyterLab

Run ./jupyterlab_run.sh to start JupyterLab with the Python version you want. Assuming, you have installed the version in the first place using the above script. Enter 3.9, or 3.10 or 3.11. You can just hit enter to pick the default, which is Python 3.11

Updating JupyterLab

Run ./jupyterlab_update.sh to update JupyterLab and all its dependent libraries to the latest version. Enter 3.9, or 3.10 or 3.11. You can just hit enter to pick the default, which is Python 3.11

Warning: I use pip-tools to ensure there is no version mismatch. But pip-tools will remove any manually installed libraries. This may be good or bad depending on your case. If you want to keep your JuputerLab setup uncluttered and clean without old dangling unused libraries like pytorch that take up a lot of space, this may be the way to do it. Later, when you need to use earlier notebooks, then just %pip install the required libraries in the notebook at that time.

Custom Fonts

Font MonoLisa is a paid font, that I use and will recommend. I am also thinking of Gintronic but I am wondering if the cost(150 Euros) is justified. But IMHO, custom Fonts make a lot of difference if you are spending a lot of time infront of code and coding is your profession. Get the best tools for your job.

My usual coding font setup is at present like this (unfortunately none of them are OSS):

• Code Font - Monolisa, Size(13 or 15 pt, depending on screen size), Line Height(1.618), Ligatures(Enabled)
• IDE UI Font - SF Mono, Size(13), Line Height(1.4), Ligatures(Disabled)
• Logs/Other Content/Execution Results - Input Mono, Size(13), Line Height(1.0), Ligatures(Disabled)
