How can I install and play with notebook7?

[startakovsky]

I would like to know the steps to install notebook 7 and then work with this pull request: jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14102

Is there an easy way to do this or a document you can point me to?

I read this but the RetroLab repository looks archived? (cc: @jtpio)

From https://jupyter.org/enhancement-proposals/79-notebook-v7/notebook-v7.html:

This document proposes that the next major release of the Jupyter Notebook application, version 7, will be based on the JupyterLab codebase, but will provide an equivalent user experience to the current (version 6) application. Jupyter Notebook version 7 (“Notebook v7” henceforth) will achieve this by using the current version of RetroLab. The following three key ideas are central to this planned transition:

pip install notebook yields Successfully installed notebook-6.5.4 which is not 7.

You would need to specify --pre (for pre-release) when installing notebook: pip install --pre notebook.

You would need to specify --pre (for pre-release) when installing notebook: pip install --pre notebook.

Would it be possible to write it somewhere on the Jupyter website? It's really hard to come across this info.

@tinosai Notebook 7 is now available as a stable release, so a plain pip install notebook should be enough to install it.
