Install JupyterLab with Miniconda (Linux) and create a dedicated environment

This guide explains step by step how to install Miniconda and then JupyterLab using only copy-and-paste commands.

1. Log in to the login node and download Miniconda

Download the official installer with the following command:

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

2. Run the installer

bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

Then follow the steps:

  • Press Enter to scroll through the license
  • Type yes to accept
  • Confirm the default installation directory (recommended)

3. Activate Conda

Reload your terminal configuration:

source ~/.bashrc

Check the installation:

conda --version

4. Create a Jupyter environment

conda create -n jupyterlab_env python jupyterlab -y

This creates an isolated environment named jupyterlab_env.

This environment, once activated, will provide access to the jupyter command.

5. Activate the environment

conda activate jupyterlab_env

The name (jupyterlab_env) should appear at the beginning of the terminal prompt.
