  <p>How can I open Ipython notebook from double click? I always cd to the directory of the notebook, then type <code>ipython notebook</code> in the browser and then open it in the browser. This steps is very inconvenient.</p>
  
  <p>In windows, I remembered that I can change the directory in the browser, but in linux there is no way to explore to other directory via browser, if I want to open a new book in another directory, I have to restart another kernel as above, which annoys me.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any simple and verified way to do this?</p>
