How to set env variable in Jupyter notebook

Question

I\'ve a problem that Jupyter can\'t see env variable in bashrc file, is there a way to load these variables in jupyter or add custome variable to it?

Answer 1

A gotcha I ran into: The following two commands are equivalent. Note the first cannot use quotes. Somewhat counterintuitively, quoting the string when using %env VAR ... will result in the quotes being included as part of the variable's value, which is probably not what you want.

%env MYPATH=C:/Folder Name/file.txt

and

import os
os.environ['MYPATH'] = "C:/Folder Name/file.txt"
