🧪 Run Jupyter Notebook with a Virtual Environment

This guide helps you configure and run Jupyter Notebooks inside a Python virtual environment (venv).

🚀 Getting Started

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account.

2. Clone your fork to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/ai-agent-workshop.git
   cd ai-agent-workshop

3. Activate Your Virtual Environment

   python3 -m venv .venv
   source ./.venv/bin/activate

---

4. Install Jupyter in the Virtual Environment

Make sure Jupyter and IPython kernel support are installed inside the virtual environment:

pip install jupyter ipykernel

---

5. Add the Virtual Environment to Jupyter as a Kernel

Register your virtual environment with Jupyter so it appears as a kernel option:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=myenv --display-name "Python (myenv)"

• --name: internal name for the kernel
• --display-name: the name shown in the Jupyter interface

---

6. Launch Jupyter Notebook

Still inside the activated virtual environment, launch Jupyter Notebook:

jupyter notebook

Then, in the Notebook UI, select your kernel from:

Kernel → Change kernel → Python (myenv)

---

✅ You're all set! You can now work with isolated environments in Jupyter with full control.
