# Tutorial for pyHiM notebook
*A jupyter notebook is an interactive file where you can find both markdown text and executable code with its outputs displayed.*
*The main pyHiM tutorial is in this format.*
## Install and configure JupyterLab
1. Activate your [conda environment](../quick_install.md#create-conda-environment) for pyHiM:
```sh
conda activate pyHiM
```
```{note}
Replace `pyHiM` by your `environment name` if you called it something else.
```
2. Install a tool to manage jupyter notebook like [JupyterLab: 
](https://jupyter.org/install#jupyterlab)
```sh
conda install jupyterlab
```
3. We recommend to create a specific kernel to run pyHiM on JupyterLab with the good environment:
```
conda install ipykernel
ipython kernel install --user --name=pyHiM-kernel
```
## Open tutorial with JupyterLab
1. To download and unzip the pyHiM notebook with its python file, [click here: ](https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/pyHi-M/pyHiM/tree/development/docs/source/getting_started/tutorials/notebooks)
2. Open a terminal inside your downloaded folder and activate your [conda environment](../quick_install.md#create-conda-environment) for pyHiM
```sh
conda activate pyHiM
```
3. Open pyHiM tutorial with JupiterLab (or jupyter notebook):
```sh
jupyter-lab full_pyHiM_run.ipynb
```
4. Once you spin up a jupyter lab from the `pyHiM` environment, select the `pyHiM-kernel` (click on panel Kernel > Change Kernel...) to be able to run *pyHiM* functions.
5. Now you can follow the tutorial by running each cell with the `run` icon (or `Shift+Enter` on keyboard):
