To save myself an hour next time I need to install JupyterLab (the latest 2020 version of Jupyter) here's a step-by-step install from scratch on self-hosted AWS, warts-and-all. Key points:
- We want to use jupyter-lab instead of the legacy jupyter-notebook
- The notebooks/labs must be private, it's absurd to think otherwise
- We want online / cloud access to our work
- We want the minimum of effort to install and get working with Jupyter
- We want the minimum complexity to maintain the installation
