Ubuntu 16.04 and earlier

Google Colaboratory is Google's free Jupyter notebook environment that requires no setup and runs entirely in the cloud.


I installed it using

pip install jupyter

(pip3 if Python3 is installed; also, ensure you have root access, i.e. logged in to the terminal as root@...)

and for python dependencies

apt-get install build-essential python3-dev

In ubuntu desktop 14.04.3 LTS. I am on python3.
