Troubleshooting

Files not appearing after adding from Flow

  • In Jupyter, go to File → Hub Control Panel

  • Click "Stop My Server"

  • Click "Start My Server"

  • Your files will now appear in the flow-data/ folder

  • Check that the data files show as "added to notebooks" in Flow when they're selected

Package installation fails

  • Check for typos in the package name
  • Try upgrading pip: !pip install --upgrade pip
  • Some packages may require system dependencies not available in the notebook environment
  • Remember to add a '!' before pip to run a shell command, rather than just executing a notebook cell

Performance issues

  • Close unused notebooks to free memory
  • Restart the kernel (Kernel → Restart)
  • Consider working with data subsets if your datasets are very large

Can't access my notebook

  • Sometimes cookies retained on your computer can interfere with the authentication - make sure you hard refresh your browser (Cmd-Shift-R on Mac, Ctrl-Shift-R on Windows)
