How to Install Jupyter Notebook in Windows 10

Being Pythonists it is very important to work with the best text editor/notebook so that the visibility of codes and various other diagrams is clear and understood by the people. The Python programming language contains an inbuilt text editor called IDLE and is highly preferred by developers because it provides numerous features for the users to play with starting from model creation to deployment. There are many other text editors as well that provide high-end features to Python developers to carry out their tasks like Atom, Sublime, Notepad++, Spyder, Visual Studio, etc.

From so many text editors present for this programming language the most preferred one for the Data Science community is Jupyter. This is a special kind of Python notebook that comes with an extension of .ipynb that stands for I Python Notebook. The Python work that we usually do with normal editors gets saved with the extension of .py but with this notebook, in hand, the extension is changed because this notebook provides high-end command terminal where scientific computing can be performed with much ease. This I Python notebook can integrate with many of the existing web libraries for data visualization.

Now, as we know that Python is easily downloadable either through the official website or through Anaconda installation the question arises that is Jupyter downloadable in the normal installation of Python, or do we need Anaconda to run Jupyter??

Also, as we know that Python is independent of the operating system we are working with so how to download the same in Windows 10? The answers to these questions are given below along with the working steps i.e. how to download Jupyter using plain Python:

Installing Jupyter on Windows 10 or 7
