To check you Python version, run the following command in your bash shell:
python3 --versionIf this shows a python version of the form 3.x.x, congrats! You're done here.
Otherwise install Python 3 with the following command.
sudo apt install python3You can also set your default Python version to be Python 3 to avoid invoking python3 instead of python using the following command:
sudo apt install python-is-python3Next, install Jupyter Notebook using the following pip command.
pip3 install notebookYou can run Jupyter Notebook from your terminal using the following command.
jupyter-notebookHead over to anaconda.com and install the latest version of Anaconda. Make sure to download the “Python 3.9 Version” for the appropriate architecture.

Step 3: Beginning the Installation
Step 4: Finished Installation
Step 5: Launch Jupyter
