Installation

There are two parts to the jupyterlab-discovery extension:

• A JupyterLab extension for the user interface.
• A jupyter notebook server extension for doing the management of the extension on the server.

Installing the Python package jupyterlab-discovery is the first step. It should be installed from the environment in which you normally run the jupyter lab command. From within JupyterLab itself, you can gain access to this environment by opening a terminal. The command to install the package is:

pip install jupyterlab-discovery

If you are on Jupyter Notebook version 5.3 or greater, that package and a restart of the notebook server should normally be sufficient to start using the extension. With older versions of the notebook package, you will also have to run the following commands:

jupyter serverextension enable [--sys-prefix | --user | --system] jupyterlab_discovery
jupyter labextension install [--sys-prefix | --user | --system] --py jupyterlab_discovery
jupyter labextension enable [--sys-prefix | --user | --system] --py jupyterlab_discovery

where the flags [--sys-prefix | --user | --system] are as specified here.
