IPython Interactive Computing and Visualization Cookbook

Many aspects of the Jupyter Notebook can be configured.

In this recipe, we show how to configure the Jupyter application and the Jupyter Notebook frontend.
>>> %ls ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
If it does not, type !jupyter notebook --generate-config -y
in the notebook. If the file already exists, this command will delete its contents and replace it with the default file.
A Jupyter configuration file may exist in Python or in JSON (the same location and filename, but different file extension). JSON files have a higher priority. Unlike Python files, JSON files may be edited programmatically.
