Tips for ISD setup

Instead of running jupyter notebooks via the jupyter server, which doesn't have any python language support and autocompletion, I really recommend to use a dedicated IDE such as VSCode.

VSCode setup

Just install the "Jupyter" extension pack from Microsoft, or just type

code --install-extension ms-toolsai.jupyter

Usage in VSCode

1. Open a notebook: After this, you can open your labs folder in VSCode and simply open any *.ipynb file directly. You can even open multiple notebooks at the same time.
2. Select a kernel: click on Select Kernel at top right, choose your conda virtual env or the standard env with the latest python interpreter.
3. Run a cell: Choose any code cell, execute it with Ctrl+Enter. Accept the prompt to install ipykernel if you get Running cells with 'Python 3.12.6' requires the ipykernel package.
4. Run all: You can define a shortcut to easily press Run all (right click -> Configure keybinding)

Tips

1. You can open dataframe in a nice table to show more details without writing python code to print a subset of it !
