I have been trying to uninstall jupyter
I have tried the following commands
pip uninstall jupyter
pip3 uninstall jupyter
and
rm -rf /Users/$user/Library/Jupyter/*
Even after running all these commands when I type jupyter in the terminal I get the following message
usage: jupyter [-h] [--version] [--config-dir] [--data-dir] [--runtime-dir]
[--paths] [--json]
[subcommand]
jupyter: error: one of the arguments --version subcommand --config-dir --data-dir --runtime-dir --paths is required
What exactly is going wrong and why am I still able to use the command?
When you $ pip install jupyter
several dependencies are installed. The best way to uninstall it completely is by running:
$ pip install pip-autoremove
$ pip-autoremove jupyter -y
Kindly refer to this related question.
pip-autoremove
removes a package and its unused dependencies. Here are the docs.
If you don't want to use pip-autoremove
(since it removes dependencies shared among other packages) and pip3 uninstall jupyter
just removed some packages, then do the following:
Copy-Paste:
sudo
may be needed as per your need.
python3 -m pip uninstall -y jupyter jupyter_core jupyter-client jupyter-console notebook qtconsole nbconvert nbformat
Note:
The above command will only uninstall jupyter
specific packages. I have not added other packages to uninstall since they might be shared among other packages (eg: Jinja2
is used by Flask
, ipython
is a separate set of packages themselves, tornado
again might be used by others).
In any case, all the dependencies are mentioned below(as of 17 Nov, 2019. jupyter==4.4.0
)
If you are sure you want to remove all the dependencies, then you can use Stan_MD's answer.

Try pip uninstall jupyter_core
. Details below:
I ran into a similar issue when my jupyter notebook only showed Python 2 notebook. (no Python 3 notebook)
I tried to uninstall jupyter by pip unistall jupyter
, pi3 uninstall jupyter
, and the suggested pip-autoremove jupyter -y
.
Nothing worked. I ran which jupyter
, and got /home/ankit/.local/bin/jupyter
The file /home/ankit/.local/bin/jupyter
was just a simple python code:
#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from jupyter_core.command import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(main())
Tried to uninstall the module jupyter_core
by pip uninstall jupyter_core
and it worked.
Reinstalled jupyter with pip3 install jupyter
and everything was back to normal.
If you installed Jupiter notebook through anaconda, this may help you:
conda uninstall jupyter notebook
If you are using jupyter notebook, You can remove it like this:
pip uninstall notebook
You should use conda uninstall if you installed it with conda.
In pip3
pip3 uninstall jupyterlab
In my case, I have installed it via pip3 on mac.
pip3 uninstall notebook
