Setting up python, pipenv and jupyter notebook on Ubuntu 18.04

Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver (the latest LTS version) was released last week. The little script below will get pip3 and pipenv up and running.

# Install pip and pipenv
sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev
pip3 install --user pipenv

# Add pipenv (and other python scripts) to PATH
echo "PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Create a new project and install some dependencies (include jupyter)

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
pipenv install numpy matplotlib jupyter

Start a jupyter notebook

pipenv run jupyter notebook
