After installing with pip, "jupyter: command not found"

Publish date: 2024-05-06

After installing with pip install jupyter, terminal still cannot find jupyter notebook.

Ubuntu simply says command not found. Similar with ipython. Did pip not get install properly or something? How does Ubuntu know where to look for executables installed with pip?

you did not log out and log in ? It should be on your path to execute. If not, pip installed executables in .local, so in a terminal:

 ~/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook

should start notebook

Try

python -m notebook

Or, if you used pip3 to install the notebook:

python3 -m notebook

On Mac OS Catalina and brewed Python3.7

To be able to run jupyter notebook from terminal, you need to make sure that ~/.local/bin is in your path.

Do this by running export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin for your current session, or adding that line to the end of ~/.bashrc to make your changes last for future sessions (e.g. by using nano ~/.bashrc). If you edit ~/.bashrc you will need to log out and log back in to make see your changes take effect.

I tried both,

pip install jupyter

and

pip3 install jupyter

but finally got it done using

sudo -H pip install jupyter

execute a command as another user -H

The -H (HOME) option requests that the security policy set the HOME environment variable to the home directory of the target user (root by default) as specified by the password database. Depending on the policy, this may be the default behavior.

Execute this in Terminal

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Worked for me on Ubuntu 16.10, Python3, Anaconda3

UPDATE

Add path in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc(if you are using zsh bash) file

vi ~/.bashrc

add the below line to the file

PATH=~/path/to/anaconda:$PATH

Close the file with

esc + : + wq

On Mac OS you need to export ~/.local/bin inside your $PATH variable.

# Edit the bash profile: $ vim ~/.bash_profile # Add this line inside ~/.bash_profile: export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin # Update the source: $ source ~/.bash_profile # Open Jupyter: $ jupyter notebook

If jupyter run by this command:

~/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook

simply run this command in terminal

 export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

On Mac Os High Sierra, I installed jupyter with

python3 -m pip install jupyter

And then, binary were installed in:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/jupyter-notebook

Hopefully this will work.

After installation of Jupyter Notebook on Ubuntu I got below error:

Exception: Jupyter command 'jupyter-notebook' not found.

I used simple command it's working for me

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir jupyter

Source: http://commandstech.com/how-to-install-jupyter-on-ubuntu16-04-with-pictures-commands-errors-solution/

After exit from root user then execute :

jupyter notebook

Try "pip3 install jupyter", instead of pip. It worked for me.

Here what I did on Linux mint 19:

I installed jupyter with:

pip install jupyter

and command:

jupyter notebook

didn't work, so with:

sudo apt install jupyter-notebook

I fixed the issue, jupyter notebook worked then.

Now in the year of 2020. fix this issue by my side with mac: pip install jupyterlab instead pip install jupyter. there will be an warning before successfully installed keywords: enter image description here

you can see the path with jupyterlab then you just need to start jupyter notebook by following in path:

jupyter-lab

notebook will automatic loaded by your default browser.

The only thing that worked me is to export to PATH the Python version that is related to the pip3 of course :) (after a lot of struggling) just run:

which pip3

you should get something like (in Mac):

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/pip3

Now run:

export PATH=/Library/Python/3.6/bin:$PATH

If it works for you :) just add it to your bashrc or zshrc

If you installed Jupyter notebook for Python 2 using 'pip' instead of 'pip3' it might work to run:

ipython notebook

I tried everything and at the end this worked for me on Raspberry pi 4 running Raspbian os

sudo apt install python3-notebook jupyter jupyter-core

Most generally (in case of jupyter not being in /local/bin) use,

which jupyter

Example output

~/miniconda3/bin/jupyter

to see the path for jupyter, then explicitly use that path with sudo

sudo ~/miniconda3/bin/jupyter

I compiled python3.7 from the source code, with the following command

./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.7.4 --with-ssl make make install

after pip3.7 install jupyter I found the executable is under /opt/python3.7.4/bin

check my answer here Missing sqlite3 after Python3 compile to get more detail comping python3.7 and pip under ubuntu14.04

Anyone looking for running jupyter as sudo, when jupyter installed with virtualenv (without sudo) - this worked for me:

First verify this is a PATH issue:

Check if the path returned by which jupyter is covered by the sudo user:

sudo env | grep ^PATH

(As opposed to the current user: env | grep ^PATH)

If its not covered - add a soft link from it to one of the covered paths. For ex:

sudo ln -s /home/user/venv/bin/jupyter /usr/local/bin

Now you sould be able to run:

sudo jupyter notebook

Install jupyterlab.

If you get this error:

ERROR: After October 2020 you may experience errors when installing or updating packages. This is because pip will change the way that it resolves dependency conflicts. We recommend you use --use-feature=2020-resolver to test your packages with the new resolver before it becomes the default. requests 2.25.1 requires idna<3,>=2.5, but you'll have idna 3.1 which is incompatible.

Use this:

pip3 install jupyterlab --use-feature=2020-resolver

On MacOs, this worked for me:

/Users/`userName`/opt/anaconda3/bin/jupyter_mac.command

Re-install jupyter with conda:

conda install jupyter

For me, it didn't work until I activated Virtual Environment.
