Run locally

The notebook can of course also be run on your local computer using your own jupyter notebook server. Install such an environment e.g. via the extensive Anaconda distribution, the minimalistic Miniconda distribution or the extremely fast Mamba package manager. (The order indicates preference by simplicity in installation and usage.)

You may find all required packages in the environment.yml file:

$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ conda activate ap26
