How to install Jupyter extensions

In contrast to Jupyterlab, Code-Server requires some extensions to run Jupyter notebooks. To install them, consider the following steps:

1. Create a Jupyter notebook file (*.ipynb) or open the file if it already exists, then click on Select Kernel. Refer to Fig. 1, top-right.

   

   Fig. 1.

2. The Select Kernel box appears, see Fig. 2. Choose:

   • Install suggested extensions Python + Jupyter

   or

   • Browse marketplace for kernel extensions

   The first option automatically installs all the extensions needed. The second option opens a sidebar with recommended plugins to install.

3. If you don’t see the sidebar with the installed / recommended extensions, click on the extensions icon, see Fig. 3:

   We recommend installing the following extensions:

   • Jupyter
   • Python

   Note: Jupyter extension already includes all the the other Jupyter plugins given in Fig. 3. Therefore you just need to install Jupyter and Python extensions.
