Well, there are some nuances, when selecting this way of working. First thing first – www.jupyter.org – the main website of these notebooks. Don’t forget to read what they enable, how they operate. In a nutshell – well documented code, that can be nicely presented etc.

The prerequisites are:

• Installed VSCode
• Installed Conda environment with which you run your notebook

First, you will have to install all extensions in VSCode that enable you to view, operate jupyter notebooks. Don’t worry, VSCode will offer you some, select the ones that are trusted, i.e., from Microsoft.

So, you are able to load the notebook. Next step is to select the right conda environment for them to be run in. You can select it on the right (next figure) – I selected dlwp. You can also use the old trick with Cmd+Shift+P.

If something is amiss, you will be notified once each cell is run. For me, I had to install ipykernel in the dlwp environment.

conda install -n dlwp ipykernel --update-deps --force-reinstall

conda install -c conda-forge ipywidgets
