Anaconda

Anaconda is a free and open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages for data science and machine learning related applications (large-scale data processing, predictive analytics, scientific computing), that aims to simplify package management and deployment. Package versions are managed by the package management system conda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_(Python_distribution)

En otras palabras, Anaconda puede ser visto como un paquete (a distribution) que incluye no solo Python (or R) but many libraries that are used in Data Science, as well as its own virtual environment system. It's an "all-in-one" install that is extremely popular in data science and Machine Learning.Creating sample array for the following examples:

Installation

Installation from the official Anaconda Web site: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/

https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-anaconda-on-ubuntu-18-04/

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-anaconda-python-distribution-on-ubuntu-18-04

Anaconda comes with a few IDE

• Jupyter Lab
• Jupyter Notebook
• Spyder
• Qtconsole
• and others

Anaconda Navigator

Anaconda Navigator is a GUI that helps you to easily start important applications and manage the packages in your local Anaconda installation

You can open the Anaconda Navigator from the Terminal:

anaconda-navigator

Jupyter

Jupyter comes with Anaconda.

• It is a development environment (IDE) where we can write codes; but it also allows us to display images, and write down markdown notes.

• It is the most popular IDE in data science for exploring and analyzing data.

• Other famoues IDE for Python are Sublime Text and PyCharm.

• There is Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook

Extensions

This post mention so nice extension and configuration that can be done: https://towardsdatascience.com/bringing-the-best-out-of-jupyter-notebooks-for-data-science-f0871519ca29

Unofficial Jupyter Notebook Extensions

https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

This is very important. There are very nice extensions in this package:

• toc2: https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nbextensions/toc2/README.html
• Collapsible Headings
• ... etc

Installation

https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html

I had some issues to install it. La format indicada por defecto:

pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user

A través de la forma anterior no pude instalar el paquete de forma correcta. La instalación no retornó errorres, y la extensión se mostraba en Jupyter-notebook pero no podía activar "enable" las extensiones.

Al parecer es un problema con la ubicación de la instalación. Yo estaba usando conda pero conda está presentando problemas. La instalación de los paquestes demora muchísimo y luego el paquete parece no estar disponible.

En el siguiente post encontré una solución para instalar nbextension usando pip: https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/issues/1127

pip install --upgrade jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install  --sys-prefix  --symlink

«--symlink» creo que lo usé pero no estoy completamente seguro. También realicé el --upgrade pero creo que la diferencia la hicieron las opciones --sys-prefix --symlink

Some remarks

Executing Terminal Commands in Jupyter Notebooks

https://support.anaconda.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023858254-Executing-Terminal-Commands-in-Jupyter-Notebooks

If we are in the Notebook, and we want to run a shell command rather than a notebook command we use the !

Try, for example:

!ls or
!pwd

It's the same as if you opened up a terminal and typed it without the !
