title: How to connect Jupyter Ipython notebook to Amazon redshift
body: <p>I am using Mac Yosemite.
  I have installed the packages postgresql, psycopg2, and simplejson using conda install "package name".
  After the installation I have imported these packages. I tried to create a json file with my amazon redshift credentials </p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "user_name": "YOUR USER NAME",
      "password": "YOUR PASSWORD",
      "host_name": "YOUR HOST NAME",
      "port_num": "5439",
      "db_name": "YOUR DATABASE NAME"
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I used with </p>
  
  <pre><code>open("Credentials.json") as fh:
      creds = simplejson.loads(fh.read())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this is throwing error. These were the instructions given on a website. I tried searching other websites but no site gives a good explanation.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know the ways I can connect the Jupyter to amazon redshift.</p>
