Insula Code

Insula Code is a browser-based Jupyter environment hosted within the DestinE Platform with Polytope pre-configured, requiring no local installation.

For the data request syntax, see Data Structure and Keys.

Getting started

Open the Climate DT polytope-lab directly in Insula Code. If you are not already logged in, you will be prompted to do so.

Once in polytope-lab, navigate to the climate-dt folder and open an example notebook. As a starting point, open climate-dt-earthkit-fe-story-nudging.ipynb and select the Polytope kernel from the upper right corner.

Creating a new environment

If you require a fully custom Python environment, you can create one by following the setup instructions described here. This will create a new environment and register it as a Jupyter kernel, which will then be available for selection within Insula Code.

Updating an existing environment

Additional packages can be installed by running pip install in one of the first cells and restarting the kernel. For example:

pip install --upgrade --user earthkit
pip install --user kaleido
