How to Import Files and Code into Jupyter Notebook

How to Import Files and Code into Jupyter Notebook


There are many benefits and uses of Jupyter Notebook, especially for managing various python packages. One of the main advantages of Jupyter is being able to import code into Jupyter Notebook, including uploading local files, cloning GitHub repositories, or using the magic command %load and also fetching ipynb files from other computers.

Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents containing files or live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. It is widely used by data scientists, researchers, and developers for data analysis, machine learning, and scientific computing. Jupyter Notebook supports many programming languages, including Python, R, Julia, and Scala. In this blog post, we will discuss how to import code into Jupyter Notebook online.

  • There are several ways to import code into Jupyter Notebook online. We will cover the following methods:
    Uploading local files.
  • Cloning a GitHub repository.
  • Using the %load magic command

A. How to Upload Files from a Personal Computer

If you have a Python script or Jupyter Notebook file on your personal computer and you want to import it into Jupyter Notebook online, you can upload it using the Jupyter Notebook interface. Follow these steps:

  • First, open the Jupyter Notebook application with Google Chrome or Modzilla or another web browser.
  • On the Jupyter dashboard, click the "Upload" button in the upper right corner of the screen.
  • Then select the file you want to upload and click the "Open" button.
  • Wait for the file to finish uploading. Once finished, you will see it listed on the Jupyter Notebook dashboard page.
    Click on the file to open it in a new tab.

B. Uploading Files by Cloning from a GitHub Repository

If you have a Python or Jupyter Notebook project on GitHub that you want to import into Jupyter Notebook online, you can clone the repository using the Jupyter Notebook interface. Follow these steps:

  • First, you open the Jupyter Notebook application with Google Chrome or Modzilla or other web browsers.
  • On the Jupyter main page (dashboard), click the "New" button in the upper right corner of the screen, then you click the "Terminal" button.
  • In the terminal window, type the following command: "git clone [repository URL]", for example as follows. # git clone https://git.homegu.com/AnthonySigogne/web-search-engine.git.
  • After that, you press the "Enter" button and wait for the repository to be cloned.

Once the cloning is complete, return to the Jupyter Notebook interface and refresh the page. You should now see the cloned repository listed in the Jupyter Notebook interface. Click on the repository to open it in a new tab. You can now edit and run code in the Jupyter Notebook interface.

C. Uploading files to Jupyter with the %load Magic Command

If you have a Python script or Jupyter Notebook file that is publicly available on the internet, you can use the %load magic command to import it into Jupyter Notebook online. Follow these steps:

  • First, you open the Jupyter Notebook application with Google Chrome or Modzilla or other web browsers.
  • On the Jupyter main page (dashboard), click the "New" button in the upper right corner of the screen, then you click the "Python 3 (ipykernel)" button.
  • On the "Python 3 (ipykernel)" menu, type the following command: %load [file URL]. Please replace [file URL] with the URL of the Python script or Jupyter Notebook file you want to load.
  • Run the cell by pressing the "Shift + Enter" keys.

D. Uploading ipynb files to Jupyter Notebook

As we know, there are many files with the *.ipynb extension in the github repository. These files are the results of extracting Jupyter Notebook. To upload ipynb files to Jupyter Notebook, you must first install "import-ipynb" into your Jupyter server. Let's assume that you are already active in the Jupyter virtual environment. In your Jupyter virtual environment, run the following command.

### Example Install import-ipynb ###
(jupyternotebook) root@hostname1:/usr/local/etc/jupyternotebook# pip install import-ipynb

After you install "import-ipynb", the way to upload or upload ipynb files is the same as the way to upload files from your personal computer (Read section "A"). Since the method is the same, we will not discuss it in detail again. You can just read section "A".

Importing code to Jupyter Notebook online is easy and convenient. You can upload local files, clone a GitHub repository, or use the magic command %load to import code from the internet. These methods allow you to work with your code in a collaborative and interactive environment, making it easier to analyze data, build models, and share your work with others. Try these methods and see how they can improve your workflow in Jupyter Notebook.
