Using JupyterLab
================

JupyterLab is an early alpha-preview of the next generation of the Jupyter
Notebook. It is included so that you can take a tour and play with its
capabilities.

CAUTION: JupyterLab is experimental. It is not yet intended for production work.

JupyterLab does not include any of the notebook extensions that are available
in the :doc:`Jupyter Notebook app <jupyter/index>`.

For more information about JupyterLab, see the
`documentation <https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab>`_.


You can also download and print a
:download:`Jupyter cheat sheet <Jupyter-cheatsheet.pdf>` on using Jupyter
Notebook and the new JupyterLab.

To open JupyterLab:

#. Log in to AEN.
#. Select the project you want to work on, or create a new project and open it.
#. On the project home page, click on the JupyterLab icon.

   JupyterLab opens in a new browser window:

Experiment with the application on your own, using the
**Notebook**, **Editor**, **Terminal** and **Console** menus.

To review a guided tour of all of the features JupyterLab will contain when it
is ready for production, click the Take a tour link in the right pane.
