Checkout our Medium blog post to see what amazing things you can do with nteract.
Note: There will be 🐛s and quirks. Please come tell us about them!
nteract is a literate coding environment that supports Python, R, JavaScript and other Jupyter kernels. It wraps up the best of the web based Jupyter notebook and embeds it as a desktop application that allows you to open notebooks natively on your system. Double click a .ipynb on the desktop, use Spotlight on the Mac. It Just Works™
- Notebook environment to explore and get things done ✅
- Standalone cross-platform desktop application ✅
- One notebook document/narrative per window ✅
- Work with any Jupyter kernel using message spec v5 ✅
- Easy install with pre-configured Python3 ❌ and JavaScript ✅ runtimes
- Grow an ecosystem of tooling to allow others to build their own platforms relying on the Jupyter specifications ✅

To get started developing install a python runtime then install nteract in dev mode.
At least for now, we need the python 3 kernel installed when hacking on nteract:
python3 -m pip install ipykernel
python3 -m ipykernel install --user
Requires Node.js and npm 3+.
- Fork this repo
- Clone it
git clone https://github.com/nteract/nteract cdto where youcloned itnpm installnpm run start
As you make changes, close the entire app (cmd-q on OS X, or ctrl-c at the terminal) then run npm run start again.
In separate terminals run:
npm run build:desktop:watch
and
npm run spawn
The webpack build will keep occurring as you modify source. When you open a new notebook, you'll get the freshest copy of the notebook app.
You can run nteract's documentation generator by running
npm run build:docs
And then opening docs/index.html in your favorite browser.
I upgraded my developer installation and things are broken!
- Try
git clean -xdf && npm i
I want to debug redux actions and state changes.
- Enable redux-logger by spawning the application with
npm run spawn:debug.
I keep getting 'Do you want the application "nteract Helper.app" to accept incoming network connections?' while developing or using a custom build of nteract on macOS.
- This is how the the macOS firewall behaves for unsigned apps. On a signed app, the dialog won't show up again after approving it the first time. If you're using a custom build of nteract, run:
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/nteract.app. You will have to do this again every time you rebuild the app.
