I\'m on a windows machine without admin right and I would like to run jupyter on chrome, while the default browser is another.

I have a local installation of the Ana

Answer 1

I don't know the precise details for Windows, but this is how to set the default browser on a Mac:

jupyter notebook --generate-config

This creates a file jupyter_notebook_config.py in ~/.jupyter. Edit the line

#c.NotebookApp.browser = ''

On a Mac I set it to:

c.NotebookApp.browser = u'/Applications/Gooogle\ Chrome.app %s'

You just need to figure out how to point it to Chrome on Windows.
