Installing jupyterlab on macOS Through homebrew

There are many ways to install jupyterlab. Here is one we have tested to work with TINC.

brew install jupyterlab

When brew installs jupyter lab and installs python3.8, it mentions it is keg only, so need to follow brew's instructions:

Python has been installed as /usr/local/opt/python@3.8/bin/python3
You can install Python packages with /usr/local/opt/python@3.8/bin/pip3 install <package>
They will install into the site-package directory
/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages
See: https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-and-Python
python@3.8 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have python@3.8 first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/cannedstar/.bash_profile
For compilers to find python@3.8 you may need to set:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/lib"
For pkg-config to find python@3.8 you may need to set:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/lib/pkgconfig"

To install additional dependencies for tinc-python for the jupyter python:

/usr/local/opt/python@3.8/bin/pip3 install filelock matplotlib ipywidgets
