Getting Started with Jupyter Notebook

Posit Workbench supports launching Jupyter Notebook sessions from the Posit Workbench home page. Jupyter Notebook is a browser-based tool for interactive authoring of documents that combines explanatory text, mathematics, computations, and their rich media output.

This section of the Workbench User Guide contains information specific to using Jupyter Notebook within Posit Workbench. For complete details on using Jupyter Notebook please refer to the Jupyter Notebook Documentation.
