Question

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?

Answer 1

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

ipython notebook

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

• Open a terminal window using Ctrl+Alt+T.

• Run the command gedit ~/.profile.

• Add the line. export PATH=$PATH:/.local/bin/jupyter-notebook. to the bottom and save.

• Log out and log in again.

Hopefully this will work.

Answer 5

I had to run "rehash" and then it was able to find the jupyter command

Answer 6

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
