Create a virtual environment and install jupyter.

$ virtualenv --system-site-packages /path/to/venv
$ . /path/to/venv/bin/activate
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install setuptools==44.1.1 ipykernel==4.8.2 notebook==5.2.1

Retrieve probcomp repositories from Github and build.

$ for project in bayeslite cgpm crosscat iventure Venturecxx; do
    git clone git@github.com:probcomp/"${project}".git
    cd "${project}"
    python setup.py build
    pip install --no-deps .
    cd ..
  done

Verify import of iventure.

$ python -c 'import iventure.magics'

Optional: Run the test suite for probcomp repositories (may take a while).

$ for project in bayeslite cgpm crosscat iventure Venturecxx; do
    cd "${project}"
    ./check.sh
    cd ..
  done
