How To Install and Run iPython/Jupyter Notebook on IBM Bluemix

Basically this is old way of using tools around big data and data science. IBM upgraded and integrated tools like Apache Spark, Watson in to various free, freemium services which gives a web based IDE with tons of features, one of them is Data Science Experience. Here are the steps on how to install, run iPython/Jupyter Notebook on IBM Bluemix. This guide will help you to run Jupyter on IBM Bluemix exactly like the way we install, run Jupyter on localhost or own server. There are many disadvantages of this way in case you are paying for Bluemix :

  1. This guide gives you iPython/Jupyter notebook with Python 2.x
  2. At the same cost or free you’ll get tons of features from other tools offered by IBM
  3. IBM possibly has no official support of this way anymore

This guide is good to test on free trial Bluemix by those who are simply learning the basics. At the end of this guide, you can use Jupyter Notebook like our screenshot :

Taking that you are a Mac or GNU/Linux user and has a Bluemix account with 1 GB free RAM, you need to do very few steps as I have the repo on Github cloned from IBM’s original old thing to make it super easy (IBM’s original URL of repo on hub.jazz.net is of no use now). Make sure that Cloud Foundry CLI tool is installed. Which on Mac be installed by (probably most users use Homebrew by now) :

Vim
1
brew install cf-cli

Then clone my repo from Github :

Vim
1
2
3
git clone https://github.com/AbhishekGhosh/Bluemix-Jupyter-Notebook.git
cd Bluemix-Jupyter-Notebook
ls -al

If you run cat on the files, on requirements.txt file you will get the list of libraries the buildpack will install. You can add more libraries. Procfile instructs Bluemix on how to run the application once it is built. The manifest.yml file contains instructions to Bluemix about how to deploy the instance.

Run these three commands one by one, you’ll match input targeting your need :

Vim
1
2
3
cf api https://api.ng.bluemix.net
cf login
cf push --no-start

Run this command, this will take huge time with tons of output :

Vim
1
cf start ipython

You’ll get final output like this :

Vim

Waiting for app to start...
 
name:              ipython
requested state:   started
instances:         1/1
usage:             1G x 1 instances
routes:            ipython-brutalitarian-recheck.mybluemix.net
last uploaded:     Thu 26 Oct 20:46:59 IST 2017
stack:             cflinuxfs2
buildpack:         https://github.com/cloudfoundry/python-buildpack.git
start command:     ipython profile create; echo "c.NotebookApp.password = '$(
                   python -c 'from IPython.lib import passwd; import os; print
                   passwd(os.environ.get("PASSWORD", ""))' )'" >>
                   ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_notebook_config.py;
                   ipython notebook --port=$VCAP_APP_PORT --ip=$VCAP_APP_HOST
                   --no-mathjax

Now go to BlueMix console and restart that automatically created app. It will start and you will click the web URL of the application from there. You’ll face the login screen of Jupyter asking for password. You need no password, simply click the blank field to login. Copy paste this and run to test :

Vim
1

%matplotlib inline
 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 3*np.pi, 500)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x**2))
plt.title('A simple example');
