$ mkvirtualenv ipy

This can be any environment name you choose. I call mine ipy for brevity. IPython has a bunch of dependencies and it's nice to have them all in ONE place rather than globally throughout your machine.

Then use pip to install the following.

  • jinja2
  • pyzmq
  • tornado
$ workon ipy
$ pip install jinja2 pyzmq tornado ipython

Then, to run a local instance of IPython Notebook:

$ ipython notebook
