How to run an ipynb Jupyter Notebook from terminal

Question

I have some code in a  ipynb file and got it to the point where I don t really need the  interactive  feature of IPython Notebook  I would like to just run it straight from a Mac Terminal Command Line   Basically  if this were just a  py file  I believe I could just do python filename py from the command line  Is there something similar for a  ipynb file

From the command line you can convert a notebook to python with this command:

jupyter nbconvert --to python nb.ipynb

https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert

You may have to install the python mistune package:

sudo pip install -U mistune

In my case  the command that best suited me was   jupyter nbconvert --execute --clear-output  lt notebook gt  ipynb   Why  This command does not create extra files  just like a  py file  and the output of the cells is overwritten everytime the notebook is executed   If you run   jupyter nbconvert --help      --clear-output   Clear output of current file and save in place  overwriting the existing notebook

From the terminal run jupyter nbconvert --execute --to notebook --inplace --allow-errors --ExecutePreprocessor timeout -1 my nb ipynb  The default timeout is 30 seconds  -1 removes the restriction  If you wish to save the output notebook to a new notebook you can use the flag --output my new nb ipynb

Update with quoted comment by author for better visibility      Author s note  This project started before Jupyter s execute API  which is now the recommended way to run notebooks from the command-line  Consider runipy deprecated and unmaintained       Sebastian Palma   Install runipy library that allows running your code on terminal  pip install runipy   After just compiler your code   runipy  lt YourNotebookName gt  ipynb   You can try cronjob as well  All information is here

nbconvert allows you to run notebooks with the --execute flag   jupyter nbconvert --execute  lt notebook gt    If you want to run a notebook and produce a new notebook  you can add --to notebook   jupyter nbconvert --execute --to notebook  lt notebook gt    Or if you want to replace the existing notebook with the new output   jupyter nbconvert --execute --to notebook --inplace  lt notebook gt    Since that s a really long command  you can use an alias   alias nbx  jupyter nbconvert --execute --to notebook  nbx  --inplace   lt notebook gt

I had the same problem and I found papermill  The advantages against the others solutions is that you can see the results while the notebook is running  I find this feature interesting when the notebook takes very long  It is very easy to use  pip install papermill papermill notebook ipynb output ipynb  It has also  other handy options as saving the output file to Amazon S3  Google Cloud  etc  See the page for more information

You can also use the boar package to run your notebook within a python code   from boar running import run notebook  outputs   run notebook  nb ipynb     If you update your notebook  you won t have to convert it again to a python file     More information at   https   github com alexandreCameron boar blob master USAGE md
