A Way to Quick Preview .Ipynb Files

A simple way to view ipython notebook

There appears to be limited non-GitHub options for sharing notebooks. You can still share a link directly from Google's colaboratory. This will allow you to:

• Upload your file
• Share the link with various permissions

Any Google user can view (and optionally edit) your notebook.

How to open ipynb files into browser by double-click

Yes, this is possible. Running python -m nbopen.install_win installs the executable nbopen.exe in the Scripts folder of your anaconda directory. For me this is:

PS> (gcm nbopen).Path
E:\Programs\anaconda\Scripts\nbopen.exe

The first line gets the path of the nbopen command (using PowerShell). If you are not using PowerShell you can find your conda directory by right-clicking on any (I)Python executable in your start menu and look at where it links to.

You can then associate the nbopen.exe file with the .ipynb filetype:

1. Right-click on a .ipynb file.
2. Click on Properties
3. Click on the Change button next to "Open With:"
4. Click on Browse, browse to the path you found out and select nbopen.exe.

Double-clicking on .ipynb files now checks if a notebook server is running and opens the notebook. If no server is running, one is started in the active directory.

How to view .ipynb as regular text intsead of an ipython notebook in vscode

Other answers didn't work for me recently. I found no "use notebook editor" option under preferences, perhaps vs code has reorganized recently. Instead I found the following solution. Right click on an *.ipynb file tab to get the context menu, and click "Reopen Editor With..." as pictured below.

Then on the following popup click "configure default editor for .ipynb", and then click on the text editor as seen below:

And viola. The default settings have been changed.

View and edit Jupyter Notebook (ipynb) files in terminal [closed]

Jupytext can synchronize a ipynb and a corresponding py file using the following command:

jupytext --set-formats ipynb,py notebook.ipynb

Then after you edited the py file, to reflect the changes to the ipynb file you need to run the following command:

jupytext --sync notebook.ipynb

And then you can run the ipynb using ipython

However, you could create a bash file to sync and run the file after it was edited:

fname="$PWD"/"$1".ipynb
jupytext --sync $fname
ipython $fname

you can give it an alias and run it from any directory.
