Binder Error #97

Closed rcmlz closed 3 years ago

rcmlz commented 3 years ago

Hello Robert

currently your Binder Demo

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter/master?urlpath=lab

fails with

Step 1/13 : FROM archlinux/base:latest pull access denied for archlinux/base, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied

They changed the name to archlinux:latest. It probably isn't worth fixing now, because pacman is currently broke on Docker. Once it starts working on common-lisp-jupyter, I can come back and fix maxima-jupyter.

rcmlz commented 3 years ago

Thank you. Is there a chance that we will be able to install maxima-jupyter using e.g. conda or pip?

yitzchak commented 3 years ago

What OS are you on?

rcmlz commented 3 years ago

I do teaching, plan to use it via Binder (so OS would be Linux), distribute my notebooks via git. I suspect that only a simple npm/pip/conda/(+ some apt-get) install procedure will motivate students to do a local installation and use Maxima-Jupyter outside class/outside Binder. I came accross Maxima as it is the backend for STACK questions in moodle and ilias learning management systems. If students know Maxima, I can ask more advanced questions in quizzes resp. Moodle/Ilias can accept more advanced answers.

@rcmlz Do I understand correctly that what you're getting at is that the complexity of the installation process discourages new users? I think so too -- I'm just trying to understand what you are suggesting here.

rcmlz commented 3 years ago

Yes, I like to use Maxima via Jupyter for teaching and believe that a simple installation process - where students can easily make the jupyter-maxima kernel a part of their local installation (side by side with other kernels used, so they can switch inside notebooks) - would be beneficial.

However, IMHO also having the Binder demo up and running is important to be able to showcase anytime.

yitzchak commented 3 years ago

I've managed to get common-lisp-jupyter's binder to work, so I'll start on maxima-jupyter's next. Also, please note that there are updated install instructions for those on Windows with conda.

Thank you for your work. I am looking forward to Maxima-Jupyter-Binder beeing up again too.

I started your binder link

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/yitzchak/common-lisp-jupyter/master

but got:
