When learning or working with machine learning tasks it is helpful to use python and more specifically Jupyter notebook.

Toward that end, I installed jupyter notebook on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine.

It was surprising simple. I followed the well written instructions from Joao Gross on Medium.

Run:

$ jupyter-notebook

I ran into the problem of tensorflow and matplotlib not being found. So I installed those components and it's "off to the races."

• pip3 install tensorflow
• pip3 install matplotlib
