Jupyter

Jupyter (Julia, Python, R) is the de facto standard for interactive data science. A Jupyter Notebook is a document that combines live code, output (tables, charts, maps), and explanatory text — making analysis transparent, reproducible, and shareable. For Indian researchers getting started with public datasets (Census, NFHS, PLFS, MGNREGA), Jupyter provides a gentle on-ramp: you can load a CSV, explore it step by step, document your process, and share the resulting notebook as a complete record of your analysis. The Jupyter ecosystem includes JupyterLab (next-gen interface), JupyterHub (multi-user server), JupyterBook (publishing notebooks as websites), and Binder (running notebooks in the cloud without installing anything). Free, open-source, and maintained by Project Jupyter, a nonprofit.
