# Using the Aizen Jupyter Console

Aizen provides a JupyterLab interface called the Aizen Jupyter console for you to manage ML jobs.

## Launching the Aizen Jupyter Console

1. In a browser, enter the application URL: `http://<KUBERNETES CLUSTER INGRESS HOST>/aizen/console`.
2.  In the **Sign in** dialog box, enter your username and password, and click the **Sign in** button.

    \
    This will launch the Aizen Jupyter console:

## Creating a Working Folder

It is recommended that you create a working folder for your project's ML files and then launch the notebook within that folder.

1. To create a working folder, right-click on the folders pane on the left side and select **New Folder** from the drop-down menu:\

2. Enter a name for your project:\

## Opening the Aizen Notebook

1. Open the project folder that you created by double-clicking on the folder name.\

2.  Click on the **Aizen (kernel)** notebook button to launch the notebook.\

    \
    The Aizen notebook interface will appear:\

In the Aizen notebook, you can run commands to create an ML project and to manage your ML workflow, such as configuring data sources and training and serving an ML model.

## Creating a Project

Create a project for your ML workflow. All your ML jobs execute under a project. Typically, you will create a single project for all ML workflows related to the same set of data sources.

1.  To create a project, enter the `create project <project name>` command in the code cell of the Aizen notebook:\

2.  Click the run icon in the toolbar to execute the command:\

3.  When the `create project` command finishes executing, you will see a `Created project` message indicating that the project was created.\

The current working project is now set to the project that you just created.
