One silly mistake that you could make is to invoke Jupyter with your local machine python installation and not the anaconda python. I had the same problem and just setting the PATH did not work for me.

FIX: By default, anaconda binaries are in "/bin". For example, in my case, they are in "/home/klakhotia/anaconda3/bin". This directory will also contain the binary to anaconda jupyter. Launch the jupyter from here or create an alias in your .bashrc that points to this file.
