Hi,  
I was wondering if on demand has a per user interactive apps. I ask because, several of the users install their own packages along with jupyter notebooks. So, having only a single global jupyter app will not suffice

What you’re looking for is instructing the users on how to make their own kernels. These kernels are in their HOME directory and completely modifyable by them.

Here’s a medium blog on how to get a conda environment setup as a Jupyter kernel. `jupyter` should recognize everything in `~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/` as a kernel.

But this extends outside of python. Users can make their own kernels for any language that Jupyter supports (I have my own Ruby kernel at OSC).
