Launching a bare Jupyter Server#

Most of the time, you won’t need to start the Jupyter Server directly. Jupyter Web Applications (like Jupyter Notebook, Jupyterlab, Voila, etc.) come with their own entry points that start a server automatically.

Sometimes, though, it can be useful to start Jupyter Server directly when you want to run multiple Jupyter Web applications at the same time. For more details, see the Managing multiple extensions page. If these extensions are enabled, you can simple run the following:

> jupyter server
