#### Code editor for numerical computing with Python and R

**Rapunzel** is a modern code editor for numerical computing with Python and R.

Features:

* An intuitive workflow
* Quickly run projects, files, cells, selections, or lines of code
* Import from and export to Jupyter Notebook
* Export code, comments, output, and figures to `.html`, `.pdf`, or `.docx`
* Powerful visual debugging and workspace inspection
* Experimental support for language servers

This Snap package is bundled with:

* Commonly used Python libraries for numerical computing (`numpy`, `scipy`, `datamatrix`, `pandas`), plotting (`matplotlib`, `seaborn`), and statistics (`statsmodels`)
* Pandoc for exporting code, comments, output, and figures to various formats
* A Jupyter / IPython console for interactive computing

You can use `pip install` to install additional packages into the Python environment of this Snap package (by entering `!pip3 install [package name]` into the console). However, the Snap format is not very suitable for installing additional software. If you want to use Rapunzel in a custom environment, for example with R, please see <https://rapunzel.cogsci.nl> for different ways of installing Rapunzel.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Rapunzel Code Editor

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
