Setup and installation of Dnotebook

To get Dnotebook installed and running locally, you need to ensure that Node.js is installed. Once Node.js is installed, you can easily install Dnotebook by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install –g dnotebook

The preceding command installs Dnotebook globally. This is the recommended way of installing it, as it ensures that the Dnotebook server can be started from anywhere on our computer.

Note

You can also use Dnotebook online without installing it; check out the Dnotebook playground (https://playnotebook.jsdata.org/demo).

After installation, you can start the server by running the following in a terminal/command prompt:

> dnotebook

This command will open up a tab as shown in the following screenshot in your default browser at port http://localhost:4400:
