 1. Run the docker container: `docker run --name jupyterrun -p 8888:8888 -t jupyter`. This will start a container with name `jupyterrun` of the image tagged with `jupyter` and will forward any traffic going into port 8888 (in the host machine) to the same port in the virtual machine. Let `TOKEN` denote the token given.
