Install Jupyter Lab on Termux

install_jupyter_lab_termux.md

🧰 Setup

• Termux: 0.118
• Android: 11
• Device: Xiaomi Pad5
• JupyterLab: 3.6.2

🪜 Installation

It is pretty straightforward to install Jupyter Notebook(classic, notebook version<7). In Jupyter Lab case, usually 'maturin' package is problematic to build. Please follow the steps below:

pkg update
pkg install clang python python-pip libzmq binutils

pip3 install pyzmq --install-option="--zmq=/usr/lib"
pip3 install setuptools_rust # setuptools should be sufficient, otherwise try again after `pkg install rust`
pip3 install jupyterlab

Check installation with jupyter --version on Termux terminal.

🐎 Running

1. Run jupyter-notebook (classic) or jupyter-lab (lab).
2. Prompted browser selection won't work in my setup.
3. Instead hit Ctrl+Alt+M (open more menu) > Select URL > Press & hold 127.0.0... or localhost:8888...
4. Alternatively, open another Termux terminal by Ctrl+Alt+C > jupyter server list > Copy given URL only > Enter your favorite browser and paste

use --config-settings instead of --install-option

there is no version that satisfies the requirment

I tried the approach mentioned in the gist, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. Instead, here’s what I used to resolve the issues I had on September 19, 2024:

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install -y build-essential libzmq rust python

pip install jupyter

pkg install -y patchelf
patchelf --add-needed libpython3.11.so $PREFIX/lib/python3.11/site-packages/zmq/backend/cython/_zmq.cpython-311.so

jupyter-lab .

putting together @volkbay's instructions with @vdsukhov's let me finally run jupyter notebook on my pixel tablet via termux.
thanks, guys!
