You are new to Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks
============================================

What is Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks is Continuum Analytics' hosted Python data
analysis environment. Accessed through a modern browser, Anaconda
Enterprise Notebooks is a ready-to-use, powerful, fully-configured
Python analytics environment. We believe that programmers, scientists,
and analysts should spend their time analyzing data, not working to set
up a system.

Why Use Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You don't need to download anything. You don't have to worry about
installation. Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks already has
:doc:`Anaconda </anaconda/index>` (a great
Python distribution) installed and a `Jupyter
Notebook <http://jupyter.org/>`_ application that is
available to you as soon as you create an Anaconda Enterprise
Notebooks account. You also have a terminal, workbench and file manager
applications—plus a project drive and home directory.

You can add team members to your project so they can see your data and
files instantly—without any need to email files around. Plus, since
Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks runs in the cloud, you and and all your
team members can access your files and data wherever you have access to
a modern browser. You are not tied to a particular laptop or desktop
computer, so if you forget your laptop or your hard drive crashes—you
still have easy access to everything you saved to your Anaconda
Enterprise Notebooks account.

You start with a full featured project that
runs on the Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks instance. You have the
option to upgrade and add more projects with a larger project drive or a
larger instance.

When you Log In
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you login for the first time to the new Anaconda Enterprise
Notebooks, you will see your profile screen. Your picture is
automatically updated with the gravatar associated with the email
address you used to setup your Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks account.
You will have a project that has already been created for you
called *my\_project*.

Jupyter Notebook Application
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To get to the Jupyter Notebook application, you'll want to navigate to
your project (simply click on *my\_project*). Then, click on the
*Jupyter Notebook* icon on your project home screen. A new tab or window
will open in your browser with the Jupyter Notebook application running.

It's that simple!

What else you may want to check out in Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In your project, you can add others as team members. You'll find this
ability in project settings.

You'll definitely want to check out the other applications that are
available: File Transfer application, Terminal application, File Manager
application and more! You'll find icons to start these on your project
home screen.

If your Jupyter Notebook or other files take a long time to run—you may
want to upgrade to a higher performance instance. This feature is
availabe in Project Settings. Be aware that for the higher performance
instances, you are charged an hourly rate whenever your project is
running. A green circle next to your project means it is running, a red
circle means it is stopped and no charges will occur. You can always
start or pause your project in Project Settings.

If you need packages that do not come installed by default in Anaconda,
you'll want to check out the Anaconda Enterprise Notebooks :doc:`Anaconda
documentation <anaconda>` on how to create environments and add
packages.
