Notebook with VS Code

It is simple to get Jupyter or Colab notebooks running inside Visual Studio Code.

1. Install the necessary Jupyter notebook extensions in VS Code

2. Install the Jupyter module in Conda Python Environment

3. Open or Make a *.ipynb file

4. Run the code

1. Install VSC Extensions to Enable Jupyter Notebooks

Once you have VSC installed you’ll just need to install a few extensions for VSC to support Jupyter notebooks. You’ll need to install six extensions.

• Python (author: Microsoft)

• Pylance (author: Microsoft)

• Jupyter (author: Microsoft)

• Jupyter Keymap (author: Microsoft)

• Jupter Notebook Renderers (author: Microsoft)

2. Install the Jupyter Module in Conda Python Environment

Need an environment to install the jupyter module

• If Conda Environment exists, you can skip this

conda create -n py37 python=3.7
conda activate py37

• Install the jupyter module.

conda install jupyter
conda install -c anaconda ipykernel

3. Open or Make a .ipynb file and Run

Lets use a test code (*.ipynb) created in Colab.

• Click here to open a Test Colab Code

Download the file as *.ipynb.
