How-to: Install Jupyter for Executable Notebooks (Windows)
Today, I needed to install Jupyter to run executable Notebooks for some custom big data analysis I'm doing at work.
However, this was the second time installing Jupyter on Windows. My first installation was through a Ubuntu WSL shell environment (because I wasn't able to get the Windows native installation in place quick enough for what I needed last week). Unfortunately, today I actually needed to run Jupyter via PowerShell.
The first problem I had was installing Python.
I ended up choosing to use pyenv to manage multiple versions of Python installations on my system. I installed pyenv through Chocolatey:
> choco install pyenv-win
Afterwards, I setup my environment in $PROFILE:
> code $PROFILE
# Add pyenv (for managing multiple python versions)
$Env:PATH += ";C:\Users\justintoo\.pyenv\pyenv-win\bin;C:\Users\justintoo\.pyenv\pyenv-win\shims"
$Env:PYENV = "C:\Users\justintoo\.pyenv\pyenv-win"
$Env:PYENV_HOME = "C:\Users\justintoo\.pyenv\pyenv-win"
Then I verified my installation and installed Python 3.8.9:
❯ pyenv --version
pyenv 2.64.3
> pyenv rehash
> $?
True
> pyenv update
> pyenv install -l
...
3.10.0a6-win32
3.10.0a6
3.10.0a7-win32
3.10.0a7
❯ pyenv install 3.8.9

❯ pyenv global 3.8.9
❯ pyenv version
3.8.9 (set by C:\Users\justintoo\.pyenv\pyenv-win\version)
Finally, I installed Jupyter:
> pip install jupyter notebook
