GMT (cli, not pygmt) in jupyter notebook

PlanetGus · January 29, 2026, 2:44pm

Hi there,

I’m trying to create some teaching material using jupyter notebook. So I installed everything, I launched a bash kernel, wrote some basic stuff and ran the cells.

The simple print output (echo "hello world") come with extra stdout + the exit code. Any idea on how to consistently get rid of it?
I’d like the GMT figures to be printed inside the notebook instead of externally. Any suggestion?

Best,
