How to To Install Jupyter on Ubuntu 18.04

Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application used for creating and sharing documents which have the live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. It includes data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, machine learning, etc. It is really so simple to install Jupyter on Ubuntu 18.04 and this tutorial covers the ground on the same process.

Installing Jupyter

The foremost thing to do before installing Jupyter is to add all the required dependency packages to your system, so run the following command to install those dependencies, and also, since Python is necessary for the installation you should also verify the Python version using the following command.

root@linuxhelp:~# python --version
Python 2.7.14+

Now we have to Install dependencies required for the installation.

root@linuxhelp:~# apt-get install python-pip python-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap
Use ' apt autoremove'  to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
.
.
Setting up libpython-all-dev:amd64 (2.7.14-4) ...
Setting up gcc (4:7.3.0-3ubuntu2) ...
Setting up python-all-dev (2.7.14-4) ...
Setting up g++ (4:7.3.0-3ubuntu2) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/g++ to provide /usr/bin/c++ (c++) in auto mode
Setting up build-essential (12.4ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-0ubuntu2) ...

Once done, upgrade the pip too, so run the following command.

root@linuxhelp:~# pip install --upgrade pip

The directory ' /home/user1/.cache/pip'  or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo' s -H flag.

Now is the time to install Jupyter. Triger the installation process by executing the following command.
