Do I need internet to use jupyter notebooks?

Question

I am a beginner in the jupyter world. There are many occasions where I do not have access to internet, in such cases sometimes I get errors in jupyter... For example I was trying an import:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

And I got this error:

Then, I connected to internet and the error did not appear.

I have my jupyter locally and it works without internet most of the time, but every now and then I get errors like that.

Problem is that internet is scarse and maybe I have to wait days until I can connect to the internet. Do I need internet to use jupyter notebooks or what am I missing?

Answer 1

The jupyter notebook runs on a local server on your computer, so there is no need of internet connection.

The error you're reporting seems not related to a connectivity issue, but possibly related to numpy .

Answer 2

You can install local anaconda framework. Use this for your local development, in a way you will not need internet connection for development.
