I couldn't find any way to run notebook? from any of the prompts I can
reach so far. Or any of the commands it describes like notebook (),
notebook(require_login=False) etc. This may be because my
implementation is incompatible with my CPU but there's still a big
hole in my understanding here. The only place I've managed to run all
these commands is in a worksheet on www.sagenb.org. But that is in an
environment that's already started up whereas presumably I need to be
able to run a command like these in order to effect that startup.
So at which stage of the startup sequence should I be able to type
these commands please?
As you suggested, there are commands here that implement some of the
things I've been asking about so your guidance has been very
informative. But obviously I can only act on what I've learned if I
can work out when to run them.
Thanks for any guidance you can give.
