Background: Jupyter

Jupyter is a fantastic tool for writing code with embedded visualizations. We provide one such notebook, python/Basics.ipynb, for testing the Python control interface to a Unity build. This notebook is introduced in the Getting Started with the 3D Balance Ball Environment tutorial, but can be used for testing the connection to any Unity build.

For a walkthrough of how to use Jupyter, see Running the Jupyter Notebook in the Jupyter/IPython Quick Start Guide. To launch Jupyter, run in the command line:

jupyter notebook

Then navigate to localhost:8888 to access your notebooks.
