Jupyter Notebook is a convenient way to develop and run Python or R scripts. This can be useful e.g. for dealing with numerical results from CellProfiler. Here's how to start a Jupyter Notebook on your Windows workstation:

  • University menu → Software Center
  • Search for and install "Anaconda"
  • Start menu → Anaconda → Anaconda shell
  • Navigate in the Anaconda shell so that the folder with your notebooks is under the current folder.
  • Type "jupyter notebook" and press "Enter"

At this point, your browser should open and show the folder where you started the notebook.

Open a notebook. To run it, select a cell and type Shift+Enter. 

To learn more you ask Google for examples. Here are examples in the official documentation: https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/Notebook/examples_index.html.
