## Connecting to Crane
-----------------------
Jupyter defines it's notebooks ("Jupyter Notebooks") as
an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code,
equations, visualizations and narrative text. Uses include: data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation,
statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and much more.
1. To open a Jupyter notebook, [Sign in](https://crane.unl.edu) to crane.unl.edu using your hcc credentials (NOT your
UNL credentials).

2. Select your prefferred authentication method.

## Running Code
1. Select the "New" dropdown menu and select the file type you want to create.

2. A new tab will open, where you can enter your code. Run your code by selecting the "play" icon.

2. A terminal opens in a new tab. You can enter [Linux commands] ({{< relref "basic_linux_commands" >}})
at the prompt.

## Using Custom Packages
Many popular `python` and `R` packages are already installed and available within Jupyter Notebooks.
However, it is possible to install custom packages to be used in notebooks by creating a custom Anaconda
Environment. Detailed information on how to create such an environment can be found at
[Using an Anaconda Environment in a Jupyter Notebook on Crane]({{< relref "using_anaconda_package_manager/#using-an-anaconda-environment-in-a-jupyter-notebook-on-crane" >}}).
