Jupyter Prerequisites

Install the Required Packages on the JupyterHub Server

Before proceeding with the JupyterHub installation, ensure that the necessary dependencies are installed on the node designated for the JupyterHub server.

Run the following commands to install the dependencies:

On RHEL 8 and 9:

# Install Python 38 development tools and other build essentials sudo dnf install python38-devel sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" # Install Node.js and npm sudo yum install nodejs sudo yum install -y npm # Install configurable-http-proxy sudo npm install -g configurable-http-proxy # Reset and enable Node.js version 20 sudo dnf module reset nodejs sudo dnf module enable nodejs:20 -y sudo dnf install nodejs -y

On Ubuntu 20 and 22:

# Update package lists sudo apt update # Install Python 38 development tools and other build essentials sudo apt install -y python38-dev build-essential # Reset and enable Node.js version 20 sudo apt remove -y nodejs npm curl -fsSL https:__deb.nodesource.com_setup_20.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt install -y nodejs sudo npm install -g configurable-http-proxy ln -s /usr/bin/configurable-http-proxy /usr/local/bin/configurable-http-proxy

Info

The Node.js version 20 or above is required for JupyterHub to work correctly.
