Introduction
In this blog post we’re going to get an iso of ubuntu mate and load stackstorm and jupyter notebooks.
Using the workstation
First thing first, let’s get a copy of ubuntu mate (desktop). You can get it here:
max version 18.04
https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/amd64/bionic/
Setup with about 2 megs of RAM and a 50G hard disk. You won’t need much. When you can login to the ubuntu machine, open a terminal window and enter the following command to install a stackstorm server. Adjust the display settings if you care.
In the terminal elevate privileges by using sudo su -
At the prompt update Ubuntu with apt-get update
Make sure curl is up to date with apt-get install curl
We will have to get PyPi (pip) installed sudo apt-get install python-pip
Now use pip to install requests pip install requests
Now install stackstorm with curl -sSL https://stackstorm.com/packages/install.sh | bash -s -- --user=st2admin --password='Ch@ngeMe'
NOTE Please change the password to something you will remember.
A long installation script will run and at the end it will say STACKSTORM OK in large letters.
Login
You should now be able to log into stackstorm:
st2 login -w st2admin then enter the password you used in the install above.
Verify you have logged into stackstorm by issuing st2 action list
You should see a list of available stackstorm actions.
Install python-pip and Jupyter Notebook server
From the prompt type: apt-get install -y python3-pip
Next: pip3 install --upgrade pip
Next: pip3 install setuptools
Finally: pip3 install jupyter
Run the Jupyter server: Enter CTRL-D to log out of root! Do It!
Type: (not root) jupyter notebook
This will start the notebook server and It will open your default web browser. From there you can start making your own notebooks.
