Ipython Notebook: where is jupyter_notebook_config.py in Mac?

Question

I just started using a Mac, so please forgive me if this sounds too naive.

I'm trying to install Interactive Parallel. From https://github.com/ipython/ipyparallel, it says I need to find jupyter_notebook_config.py.

I've already installed python and related packages with Anaconda, and I can use the ipython notebook. But when I search with spotlight for jupyter_notebook_config.py, I just can't find this file:

So, where can I find this file?

UPDATE: this is my home folder:

There is only anaconda.

Answer 1

Look in your home directory for a .jupyter folder. It should contain the file according to the docs:

The notebook web server can also be configured using Jupyter profiles and configuration files. The Notebook web server configuration options are set in a file named jupyter_notebook_config.py in your Jupyter directory, which itself is usually .jupyter in your home directory.

If the .jupyter folder does not contain a jupyter_notebook_config.py file, you need to generate it with jupyter notebook --generate-config.

Answer 2

try this command:

jupyter --paths

Answer 3

As cqcn1991 said, you first need to generate the config file.

After drilling down from my home path here's where I found the executable to generate the config file and how I generated it.

I also had to reference the jupyter executable file with ./ as I apparently don't have that in my path just yet but will add it.

cd /Users/myMac/anaconda2/bin
 ./jupyter notebook --generate-config
Writing default config to: /Users/myMac/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Then I did find the config file in my home directory.
