Below is a step‐by‐step guide on how to set up and launch MOHID Jupyter Notebooks for interactive computing:

1. Download and Install Miniconda:

• Visit the Miniconda download page.
• Download the Miniconda installer for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
• Follow the installation instructions to install Miniconda on your system.

2. Open the Terminal or Command Prompt:

• Windows: Open the Anaconda Prompt or Command Prompt.
• macOS/Linux: Open your preferred Terminal application.

3. Create a Conda Environment:

It's best practice to use a dedicated environment for each project. To create the MOHID environment, follow these steps:

• Download the YAML file:

  Obtain the .yaml (or .yml) file that lists all required packages.

• Create the environment:

  Run the following command (make sure you’re in the directory where your yml file is located):

  conda env create --file ENV_NAME
  

  Replace ENV_NAME with the name of the environment you wish to create.

4. Activate the environment:

To work within the new environment, activate it by running:

conda activate ENV_NAME

Replace ENV_NAME with the name of the environment you wish to activate.

5. Launch Jupyter Notebook:

Once the environment is activated and all necessary packages are installed, launch Jupyter Lab (or Notebook) by issuing:

 jupyter lab

This command will open the Jupyter interface in your default web browser. Tip: If you prefer the classic Jupyter Notebook interface, use jupyter notebook instead.

6. Open the Notebook

Within the Jupyter interface:

• Navigate to the directory where the notebook file (.ipynb) is located.
• Click on the the notebook file (.ipynb) to open it.

By following these steps, you´ll have a fully functional MOHID Jupyter Notebook environment for interactive computing.
