Installing Jupyter Notebook Server on Linux
You can install IBM® Cognos® Analytics for Jupyter Notebook Server either on the same computer or on a different computer from where Cognos Analytics is installed.
The Jupyter Notebook Server supports Linux and Windows 10 platforms and requires Docker to be installed.
When you download and run the installer script, you load and start Docker containers. These containers allow Cognos Analytics users to create and edit Jupyter Notebook. By default, Cognos Analytics for Jupyter Server is configured with many of the most common data science/analytic Python packages. In Cognos Analytics on Premises 11.1.2, Jupyter Server includes packages from versions of Anaconda and PixieDust.
