Jupyter Extensions

31 Mar 2020

Jupyter Notebook offer really neat extensions that can honestly transform your experience working with notebooks.

How to install

First step is to install. There are different ways (conda, pip, poetry,…). You can check out the documentation here. When you install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions, it will automatically install jupyter_nbextensions_configurator (see here), which provides a nice GUI to enable/disable the extensions.

The whole process is pretty easy, but there are 2 actions that you need to take before having the luxury of enjoying all the goodies:

1. Activate the configurator

   jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable --user
   

   then

2. Activate the extensions

   jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
   

   I’m honestly not sure of the order. I did in that order, but maybe it doesn’t matter.

What extensions?

A few useful extensions:

• table of content
• collapsible headings
• move selected cells
