Start IPython notebook server without running web

Question

I would like to use Emacs as main editor for iPython notebooks / Jupyter Notebook (with the package ein). I want to ask you if there is a way to run the server without the need to open a web browser.

Answer 1

If you don't want to type ipython notebook --no-browser all the time,

for ipython 4.0 with jupyter:

1. generate config

   jupyter notebook --generate-config
   

   it would create a file at some place like

   win: C:\Users\[YouUserName]\.jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.py

   linux: ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

2. add c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False to this file.

All done!

Answer 2

Is this what you want?

$ ipython notebook --no-browser

Edit

Now you should use instead

$ jupyter notebook --no-browser

Since

ipython notebook is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. You likely want to use jupyter notebook in the future
