How do I access Kedro-related variables if I manually launch Jupyter Notebook?

If I manually launch Jupyter Notebok and don't use kedro jupyter or kedro jupyter lab command, how do I access Kedro-related variables, e.g. context, catalog`, etc., in my notebook?

From kedro>=0.17.5, you can use one of the following methods to to instantiate the notebook with Kedro-related context and variables:

Using IPython extension (recommended)

In [1]: %load_ext kedro.extras.extensions.ipython
In [2]: %reload_kedro <path_to_project_root>

Documention: https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/latest/11_tools_integration/02_ipython.html#ipython-extension

Using manual activation script

from pathlib import Path
from kedro.framework.session import KedroSession
from kedro.framework.startup import bootstrap_project
from kedro.framework.session.session import _activate_session

current_dir = Path.cwd()  # this points to 'notebooks/' folder
project_path = current_dir.parent  # point back to the root of the project
bootstrap_project(project_path)
session = KedroSession.create("<your-kedro-project-package-name>", project_path) ### ppr is the name of the package
_activate_session(session)
context = session.load_context()

with project_path being the root of your project
