Connection URLs:

brainy.local - Easier to remember (works on most devices)
192.168.1.50 - Direct IP address (use if brainy.local doesn't work)

Using JupyterLab

Once logged in, JupyterLab will start automatically. You'll see:

Launcher tab - Create new notebooks, terminals, or text files
File browser (left sidebar) - Navigate your files and folders
Available kernels - Python 3 and any custom kernels you create

To get started:

Click Python 3 under "Notebook" to create a new notebook
Use File → New → Terminal to open a command line
Upload files by dragging them into the file browser

Need help?
If you need custom Python packages, see the jupyter "Creating Custom Jupyter Kernels" tutorial for instructions on setting up your own environment.
