How to share a jupyter notebook with plotly charts?

Question

Does anyone knows how should I share a jupyter notebook (with python3) that contains plotly made charts ? So far I use github to share notebooks, but the plotly charts just won't show up on it.

Answer 1

You need to use Plotly Offline for iPython Notebooks. The link shows the syntax for creating charts. If you create the charts in offline mode, you can covert the notebook to html and share it with anyone. You would do this by:

1. Creating the charts with Plotly Offline
2. cd into your directory where the notebook is held
3. convert the notebook to a static html file by typing ipython nbconvert [YOUR NOTEBOOK NAME].ipynb
