NB Extensions

https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions, allows you to install some very useful extensions for the Jupyter notebook. One of the extension allows for copy pasting cells across notebooks and picture into a notebook. Here is an installation script used to install the notebook extensions within he Anaconda/Miniconda distribution:

''' using PyCall if PyCall.conda

using Conda
conda = Conda.conda

else

conda = "conda"

end dir = mktempdir() cd(dir) do

run(`git clone https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions`)
run(`$conda install conda-build`)
run(`$conda build IPython-notebook-extensions`)
run(`$conda install --use-local nbextensions`)

end rm(dir, recursive=true) '''

After installation go to http://localhost:8888/nbextensions and activate the extensions you like.
