Project 2b - Jetson Nano setup, Python 3.6, VEnv and Jupyter Notebook

Project start: 2 November 2021

Project finish: 18 December 2021

Last updated: 9 October 2022

Objective: setup some more software

cd $HOME

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

check Python version (note: it's preloaded):

cd $HOME

python3 -V
->Python 3.6.9

install, update and check pip3 version:

cd $HOME

sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip

pip3 install -U pip

pip3 -V
->21.3.1

install VEnv for Python 3.6:

cd $HOME

sudo apt-get install python3-venv

other system package installations:

sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev python3-dev

sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools zlib1g-dev zip libjpeg8-dev liblapack-dev

sudo apt-get install gfortran libhdf5-dev

software-properties-gtk (a dialog will open, click on "source")

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo apt-get build-dep python3-h5py

then, just in case they are not already enabled:

sudo apt-get-repository universe

sudo apt-get-repository multiverse

sudo apt-get-repository main

sudo apt-get-repository restricted

setup a directory for your projects:

cd $HOME

cd Public

mkdir Projects

create a virtual environment, in my case I called it myPython36VEnv:

cd Projects

python3.6  -m venv myPython36VEnv 

update ownership of the virtual environment:

sudo chown -R <user-name> myPython36VEnv

activate virtual environment:

source myPython36VEnv/bin/activate

update and check version of pip3 in virtual environment:

pip3 install -U pip

pip3 -V
->21.3.1

install Jupyter Notebook in virtual environment:

pip3 install -U jupyter

to use:

jupyter-notebook

exit virtual environment:

deactivate
