[Question] conda install jupyter - What exactly is done here?
herry23xet opened this issue · comments
When installing "Jupyter Notebook" or "JupyterLab" according to the instructions in the book, a question came to my mind:
The official website says XY install jupyterlab or XY install notebook to install "Jupyter Notebook" or "JupyterLab".
Now the book says in chapter 1 that you should use the command conda install -y pandas jupyter matplotlib. Here the part about Jupyter: XY install jupyter is used.
What is this different from between the Book and the official website?
Is the same thing being installed or is it different?
And another question: If in the book is changed to the channel conda-forge, could not be recommended miniforge or mambaforge?
I'm actually in the process of revising this part of the book slightly so that both Jupyter/JupyterLab are installed so users have the option of using either. The book will continue to focus on the regular Jupyter notebook versus JupyterLab, though.
Regarding miniforge/mambaforge — since many people will get Anaconda (versus miniconda), specifying the channel seems like the safest / most reliable option for the book to minimize reader pain.
