• clone this repository (https://github.com/ContinuumIO/cdx)
• install CDX python setup.py install

We recommend using Anaconda 1.8+ to setup Bokeh's and CDX's dependencies.

$ python cdxlocal.py

Navigate to http://localhost:5030/cdx#cdx/<docname>. You can pick any document name for <docname>.

Start populating the IPython session with data! In the IPython cell, execute:

import pandas as pd
auto = pd.read_csv("cdx/remotedata/auto-mpg.csv")
import statsmodels.api as sm
longley = sm.datasets.longley.load_pandas().data
macrodata = sm.datasets.macrodata.load_pandas().data
sess.cdx.namespace.populate()
sess.plot("weight", "mpg", "auto")
sess.plot("hp", "mpg", "auto")

If single cell is insufficient for effective work, you can connect an external IPython client to CDX session. For example, to start a console client issue (in a new terminal):

$ ipython console --existing kernel-1.json
