JupyterLite

JupyterLite is a JupyterLab distribution that runs entirely in the browser built from the ground-up using JupyterLab components and extensions.

Status

Although JupyterLite is currently being developed by core Jupyter developers, the project is still unofficial.

Not all the usual features available in JupyterLab and the Classic Notebook will work with JupyterLite, but many already do!

?️ Build your own JupyterLite ?️

Install jupyterlite from PyPI, which comes with the CLI and a pre-built, empty site
archive.

python -m pip install --pre jupyterlite

Use the jupyter lite CLI to build, check, or create a reproducible,
remixable archive of your site, then publish your built site to any static host,
such as GitHub Pages or ReadTheDocs.

jupyter lite description extras
init build an empty site from the bundled app archive
build add your own notebooks, labextensions, and settings jupyter_server for indexing content
serve try out your site locally tornado for snappier serving
check check your site's metadata jsonschema for schema validation
archive create a single-file archive

Features

For more details, see the JupyterLite documentation.

Browser-based Interactive Computing

  • Python kernel backed by Pyodide running in a Web Worker
    • Initial support for interactive visualization libraries such as altair, bqplot,
      ipywidgets, matplotlib, and plotly
  • JavaScript and P5.js kernels running in an IFrame
  • View hosted example Notebooks and other files, then edit, save, and download from the
    browser's IndexDB (or localStorage)
  • Support for saving settings for JupyterLab/Lite core and federated extensions
  • Basic session and kernel management to have multiple kernels running at the same time
  • Support for
    Code Consoles

Ease of Deployment

  • Served via well-cacheable, static HTTP(S), locally or on most static web hosts
  • Embeddable within larger applications
  • Requires no dedicated application server much less a container orchestrator
  • Fine-grained configurability of page settings, including reuse of federated
    extensions
