JupyterLab

Web-based environment for interactive, reproducible computing

About JupyterLab

JupyterLab is the web-based development environment for Project Jupyter, built for interactive and reproducible computing. It combines computational notebooks, a text editor, terminals, and data viewers in one extensible interface, so users can prototype code, explore and visualize data, and share documents that mix code, narrative, and results. It serves data scientists, researchers, educators, and anyone working with computational notebooks.
