Start IPython notebook server without running web browser?

Question:

I would like to use Emacs as main editor for iPython notebooks / Jupyter Notebook (with the package ein). I want to ask you if there is a way to run the server without the need to open a web browser.

Answers:

Is this what you want?

$ ipython notebook --no-browser

Edit

Now you should use instead

$ jupyter notebook --no-browser

Since

ipython notebook is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
You likely want to use jupyter notebook in the future

If you don’t want to type ipython notebook --no-browser all the time,

for ipython 4.0 with jupyter:

  1. generate config

    jupyter notebook --generate-config

    it would create a file at some place like

    win: C:Users[YouUserName].jupyterjupyter_notebook_config.py

    linux: ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

  2. add c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False to this file.

All done!
