jupyter_app 0.1

jupyter_app - run Jupyter lab as a desktop app

Run Jupyter lab as a desktop app.

Installation

$ pip install jupyter_app

Additionally, you need Firefox installed, or download NW.js to your downloads folder.

Usage

$ jupyter_app

Select a specific app runtime (see docs):

$ jupyter_app --webruntime=nw-app

How it works

The jupyter_lab command starts a normal Jupyterlab server, but instead of launching a brower tab to connect to it, it launches a browser window that is made to look like a desktop app (including icon, process name, etc.). When the window is closed, the server shuts down. This uses the webruntime module.
