Jupyter notebook run all cells on open

Question

I have a Jupyter noteboook and I\'m trying to set it up in a way so that all cells are ran automatically when the notebook is opened.

This behaviour is different from

Answer 1

1. Paste the snippet below in a normal(code) cell,
2. execute it (hit [Ctrl + Enter]), and
3. Save the notebook.

The next time you (re)load it, all cells will run and a checkpoint will be saved with their refreshed outputs.

Note that if you clear the output of the above cell, you have to repeat steps 2 and 3.

TIP

You may consider these more appropriate solutions for what you are probably trying to achieve:

• Jupyer Thebe: embed code-snippets in static pages communicating with ipython-kernels backends.
• nteract: Build Electron-based applications from notebooks.
• Dashboards: The "official"efforts to allow to pre-configure a grid of notebook-cell outputs ("dashboards"), package and serve them as standalone web apps.

You can find a summary of the situation in this article.

Controversy

Similar questions has been asked before in other sites, but in this googlegroup thread, someone submitted a solution, and the group moderator erased it(!), obviously to preserve life on earth :-) So, be careful with it!
