Run Notebook

Interactive (Jupyter)

Copyjupyter notebook notebooks/

Non-Interactive (papermill)

Copypapermill notebooks/alto_text.ipynb output.ipynb

Convert to Script

Copyjupyter nbconvert --to script notebooks/alto_text.ipynb

Convert to HTML

Copyjupyter nbconvert --to html notebooks/alto_text.ipynb

Start Jupyter Server

Copy# Standard
jupyter notebook

# With specific port
jupyter notebook --port 8889

# Lab interface
jupyter lab

Clear Outputs

Copyjupyter nbconvert --clear-output --inplace notebooks/*.ipynb

Prerequisites

Ensure Spark is running for notebooks that use Hive tables:

Copycd spark_docker_s3 && docker compose up -d --build

Load environment variables:

Copyfrom dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
