This process can be used to ensure that a browser IDE works as expected before you
install it to a project or to a customized engine image. This process is not meant for browser
IDEs that require root permission to install, such as RStudio.
These steps are only required if you want to use an editor
that does not come pre-installed as part of the default engine image. Perform the following
steps to configure an editor for your session:
-
Ensure that your browser accepts pop-up windows and cookies from Cloudera Data Science
Workbench web UI.
-
Open the Cloudera Data Science Workbench web UI.
-
Go to your project and launch a session with the kernel of your choice and the
Workbench editor. Alternatively, open an existing session.
-
In the interactive command prompt or terminal for the session, install the editor you
want to use. See the documentation for your editor for specific instructions.
For example:
- Jupyter Lab
-
- Python 2
- The following example command installs Jupyter Lab for Python
2:
!pip install jupyterlab
- Python 3
- The following example command installs Jupyter Lab for Python
3:
!pip3 install jupyterlab
-
After the installation completes, enter the command to start the server for the
notebook on the port specified in the CDSW_APP_PORT environment
variable on IP address
127.0.0.1.
For example, the following command starts the server for Jupyter Lab on the port
specified in the
CDSW_APP_PORT environment
variable:
!/home/cdsw/.local/bin/jupyter-lab --no-browser --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=${CDSW_APP_PORT} --NotebookApp.token= --NotebookApp.allow_remote_access=True --log-level=ERROR
-
Click on the grid icon in the top right.
You should see the editor in the drop-down menu. If you select the editor, it
opens in a new browser tab.
