Running IPython/Jupyter Notebook Cells

Launching Jupyter Notebook

To run a Jupyter Notebook, follow these steps:

1. Open the desired *.ipynb file for editing.
2. On the toolbar, click . PyCharm shows Start Jupyter Notebook dialog box.
3. Next step depends on the location of the notebook whose cell is to be run.

   When running another notebook, the corresponding kernel starts:
