have installed ipython but don't know how to envoke it on linux?

Hi All,

I'm new to python but have installed all the python packages I want including the ipython web notebook which is awesome.

just not sure how to boot up my newly installed ipython web notebook and start creating python scripts?

please help all i know is it's something about inline - but I don't know what that does.

Many Thanks.

Re: have installed ipython but don't know how to envoke it on linux?

1) Find the executable and run it using gmrun (Alt-F2)
or
2)Find the executable and run it in a terminal
or
3)Run it with dmenu(Alt-F3) by typing ipython and selecting it from the list

Get the name of the executable in various ways, including whereis. If you aren't sure of its exact name then use wildcards eg

*python*

.

If you installed from the repos then see what synaptic calls it

If you installed using pip then you must already know what it is called

Get the usage with

name-of-ipython-executable --help

or

man name-of-ipython-executable

OR you could go to the IPython site and read what it says! Starting the Notebook Server

You can start running a notebook server from the command line using the following command:

ipython notebook

As I said in reply to another of your posts, you only need a text editor (whether gui or cli) to write python scripts, and you only need a terminal to run them
