Jupyter

To use OpenSoundscape in JupyterLab or in a Jupyter Notebook, you may either start Jupyter from within your OpenSoundscape virtual environment and use the “Python 3” kernel in your notebooks, or create a separate “OpenSoundscape” kernel using the instructions below

The following steps assume you have already used your operating system-specific installation instructions to create a virtual environement containing OpenSoundscape and its dependencies.

Use virtual environment

Activate your virtual environment
Start JupyterLab or Jupyter Notebook from inside the conda environment, e.g.: jupyter lab
Copy and paste the JupyterLab link into your web browser

With this method, the default “Python 3” kernel will be able to import opensoundscape modules.

Create independent kernel

Use the following steps to create a kernel that appears in any notebook you open, not just notebooks opened from your virtual environment.

Activate your virtual environment to have access to the ipykernel package
Create ipython kernel with the following command, replacing ENV_NAME with the name of your OpenSoundscape virtual environment.
```
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=ENV_NAME --display-name=OpenSoundscape
```
Now when you make a new notebook on JupyterLab, or change kernels on an existing notebook, you can choose to use the “OpenSoundscape” Python kernel
