Getting Started With Silver Notebooks: Installation of Jupyter Notebook

To use Silver notebooks, install Jupyter Notebook using Anaconda. Create a virtual environment called "QSilver" in Anaconda Navigator. Install Jupyter Notebook in the "QSilver" environment. This allows running the notebooks separately without affecting other environments. Start Jupyter Notebook from the "Jupyter Notebook (QSilver)" menu item to run it within the "QSilver" environment.

Getting started with Silver notebooks

You will need to install Jupyter Notebook to read and run the Silver material. We recommend
creating and using a separate virtual environment (named “QSilver”) to use these notebooks.
If you are an expert, you can skip some or all of the sections below.

Installation of Jupyter Notebook


We recommend using Anaconda to install Jupyter Notebook.

Installing Anaconda
1. Anaconda is available for multiple platforms. You can download it here.
2. You can use the default installation settings. On Windows they’ll look like this:
Creating the virtual environment “QSilver”

1. Start the Anaconda Navigator. In Windows you can find it in the Start Menu:
2. Once started, Anaconda Navigator will show its Home tab.

3. Select the Environments tab on the left. And click on the Create button on the
bottom. Fill in “QSilver” in the environment name and click Create.
It’ll take a while until the creation is completed. Once ready, you’ll see a new
environment “QSilver” in the middle pane of Anaconda Navigator:
Installing Jupyter Notebook in the “QSilver” environment

1. Go back to the Home tab. Make sure that “QSilver” is selected in the drop-down
menu where it says “Applications on.” If everything looks OK, click the Install button
on the Jupyter Notebook card.

It will take a while to complete the installation.


Enabling the Anaconda Terminal in the “QSilver” environment (optional)
You should be able to install all dependencies and use the Silver materials from Jupyter
Notebook alone, however, you might find it useful to have means to manage the “QSilver”
virtual environment from the command line.

1. Select the Home tab, make sure that the “QSilver” environment is selected in the
drop-down menu on the top. Find the card “CMD.exe Prompt” and click “Install:”

After this a new menu item, Anaconda Prompt (QSilver) will be available in the
Anaconda3 folder in the Start Menu:
Starting Jupyter Notebook
We recommend starting Jupyter Notebook in a separate virtual environment named
“QSilver.”

1. If you followed the instructions above, a new item “Jupyter Notebook (QSilver)” will
be available in Start Menu under the Anaconda3 folder:

2. Once you click in this item, the Jupyter Notebook server will be running in a terminal
window, and your browser will be instructed to open the graphical interface. Do not
close the terminal window while you are using Jupyter Notebook!
3. Navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the Silver materials to:

4. Open the file “welcome.ipynb”

Now you should be ready to proceed with installing the required python libraries!
