Failure to import numpy in Jupyter notebook

Question

I am new to iPython/Jupyter. Python skills limited, but learning. I am trying to import numpy as np and get the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have several python installs on my Mac, which has Yosemite, including Canopy and Anaconda. I want my Jupyter notebook to use the Anaconda install including all the modules, libraries, etc. associated with it. It seems however that jupyter is targeting Canopy instead. Thus, I think my problem might stem from the wrong linkage.

QUESTION 1: Does my conclusion hold water? If not, what might I be missing?

QUESTION 2: How can I direct/link jupyter with Anaconda and not with Canopy so that I import everything from anaconda only?

Thanks for everyone's help!

Answer 1

You can either set the PATH to execute python commands from the ~/anaconda/bin directory by prepending it to your .bah_profile by running the following command.

export PATH="/Users/jmmiii/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

OR, you can create an alias for the command by editing your ~/.bash_profile and adding:

alias jupyter-notebook="/Users/jmmiii/anaconda/bin/jupyter-notebook"
