The Basics

Sign up

You can create an account by simply signing up with email or using your Github account. Ploutos is an authorized Github App and uses your GitHub username and email to create an account. When you first sign up, your default subscription plan is Explorer which you can change in Settings Manage Settings. After sign up, you will be at the Dashboard page. You can then launch the Creator’s App

Create your first notebook

After you have launched the Creator’s App from your dashboard . It will open in a separate browser tab. Ploutos has many different tools within the platform such as notebooks, batch jobs, workspaces, drive and endpoints. In this getting started guide, we will start by creating and running a notebook. You can explore other features in the documentation.

  1. Create an empty notebook

On the home page of the Creator’s App, you can press Create + button and select notebook. That will open a modal window like the following:

Untitled

You can select From Empty File, and then type a notebook name and press the Create button.

Excellent, you just created your first notebook (albeit an empty). You can now start editing it using the notebook cells.

  1. Create a new code cell. You can create cells by clicking on any of the following buttons:

Untitled

The cells are created under the current active cell. Ploutos notebooks are based on jupyterlab components and if you are familiar with jupyter, you will get going in a breeze. If you are new to notebooks, you will be comfortable in a few minutes.

  1. Start the notebook kernel

We just created a notebook and we can instantly start editing it. But to run any code, we must start the notebook (kernel). At the top left, press the Start button and it will start the notebook. Notebook starts can take anywhere from few seconds to couple minutes. GPU powered kernels take few minutes and CPU kernels are pretty instantaneous.

  1. Run a cell

A code cell allows you to write python code and execute it. Notebooks are executed cell by cell. This allows you to code and write interactively and multitask.

In the code cell we just created, write:
