Get Jupyter Notebook Tips

Use Shift+Enter to run the code in the current cell.

Press Tab to autocomplete code.

Use the startup script in the home directory to set up packages or environments upon boot. If this startup script fails, it *can* delay the booting of your instance.

Rather than use a Jupyter notebook to execute shell commands, you can use an exclamation point (!) at the beginning of your command in Python, or system(‘COMMAND’) in R. For example, you can install a package.

To see the execution time of a cell, use %%time in Python, or something like “start <- Sys.time(); y <- 1:5; end <- Sys.time(); end - start” in R.

When you have an issue with your notebook or code and want to file a ticket, you must provide the notebook name along with SessionInfo() and the instance name.

If you’re satisfied with your analysis data and want to share it with others for their own analysis, use the hise::uploadResult method to put the file into HISE. You can then find it via Advanced Search, and use the hise::readFiles method to download it into an IDE.
