00:00Hello, guys. Welcome back with me. Chow Chow 2025.
00:06Today, we're diving into the world of data science with the amazing tool JupyterLab.
00:12It's like a coding playground where you can explore data, create visualizations, and even build machine learning models.
00:22But before we start playing, we need to set it up on your local Windows machine.
00:26Don't worry. It's easier than you think. In this video, I'll guide you step by.
00:32Step through the entire installation process. So grab your tea, and let's get started.
00:38To install JupyterLab smoothly, you'll need a few things.
00:44First, a Windows PC. Any version from Windows 7 onwards will work.
00:51Python 3.6 or later, I have the video, How to Install Python.
00:56Link in the description. Currently, I mostly use Python 3.9 and sometime 3.10.
01:03Make sure you also already set up the environment variables, or else PIP will not work.
01:09Make sure you have these downloaded and installed before we proceed.
01:14If you want an easy but bloated way, you could use Anaconda, and you're already good to go.
01:22But it will install so many things, and I think the license now has forbade it to be used for
01:32commercial use for free.
01:34For that, you need the paid version.
01:38For me, since we already install Python manually, we simply need to install JupyterLab or the classic Jupyter Notebook.
01:46What we need to do is simply open Command Prompt, either typing CMD in Run or in Windows Explorer folder
01:55and click Enter, or by typing it in Windows search bar.
01:59After it opened, you simply need to write PIP install JupyterLab and click Enter.
02:05The installation process will run, and after that, you will already install JupyterLab.
02:12To run Jupyter, simply write JupyterLab and click Enter in Command Prompt.
02:18I suggest you do this in the directory that you want to use.
02:24Before we jump in, let's do some quick customization.
02:29Go to the setting menu.
02:31Here, you can change the default language, theme, font, and even set up keyboard shortcuts.
02:47Remember, JupyterLab is all about interacting with notebooks.
02:51Click the new button and choose a notebook type.
02:54This is where you write your code and see the results instantly.
02:58It's like a science experiment playground.
03:33What fun of Jupyter Notebook is that?
03:35It making great use of Python as interpreter, so you could run your program per code block, and the variable
03:43that a run before will be kept.
03:44You could also run the code in whatever order you like, but make sure you not mess the logic of
03:50your program.
03:51Of course, if this all feels complicated or you don't want to mess your own computer.
03:58You could always Google Colab the free tier.
04:02It is the same thing as this, and you don't need to mess anything.
04:05The downside of Google Colab, you need to pip install everything that are not set up as default every time
04:15you come back to it.
04:17So, there you have it.
04:19You're now equipped with your own JupyterLab on your Windows machine.
04:24Remember, the best way to learn is by doing.
04:27So, start creating notebooks, play with data, and don't be afraid to experiment.
04:34The possibilities are endless.
04:36If you have any questions or need further guidance, leave a comment below, and I'll be happy to help.
04:43Also, consider subscribing for more data science and coding tutorials.
