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.

I primarily use VIM. I know Emacs can handle lot more than VIM, which is primarily a text editor. I would love to be able to use vim/emacs to handle both the text editing as well as generate the jupyter notebooks, without leaving the program. Can emacs do that at present? — alpha_989

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

Glad I could help @EnricoPirani :). Can you accept this so that the question will be marked as answered?

I'd appreciate if whoever down-voted this would explain why; I'd love to fix any issues :).

can you embed graphics and charts in emacs, just like you can in a jupyter notebook in a browser? What does this command do, and how is it different from just starting ipython?

Thanks for updating the answer @Romain. :)

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

for ipython 4.0 with jupyter:

generate config
```
jupyter notebook --generate-config
```
it would create a file at some place like

win: C:\Users\[YouUserName]\.jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.py

linux: ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
add c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False to this file.

All done!

Running the script will output something: Writing default config to <path> Then, you can edit that file with your favorite editor, and either follow the step 2, and add the line, or uncomment the line #c.NotebookApp.open_browser = True, and set it to False.

Or can just use alias jn="ipython notebook --no-browser".
