After installing with pip, “jupyter: command not found”

Question

After installing with pip install jupyter, terminal still cannot find jupyter notebook.

Ubuntu simply says command not found

Answer 1

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

ipython notebook

Answer 2

For my case, jupyter-notebook <name of the notebook> worked

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

I compiled python3.7 from the source code, with the following command

./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.7.4 --with-ssl
make
make install

after pip3.7 install jupyter I found the executable is under /opt/python3.7.4/bin

Answer 5

To be able to run jupyter notebook from terminal, you need to make sure that ~/.local/bin is in your path.

Do this by running export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin for your current session, or adding that line to the end of ~/.bashrc to make your changes last for future sessions (e.g. by using nano ~/.bashrc). If you edit ~/.bashrc you will need to log out and log back in to make see your changes take effect.

Answer 6

The only thing that worked me is to export to PATH the Python version that is related to the pip3 of course :) (after a lot of struggling) just run:

which pip3

you should get something like (in Mac):

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/pip3

Now run:

export PATH=/Library/Python/3.6/bin:$PATH

If it works for you :) just add it to your bashrc or zshrc
