Accessing anaconda/jupyter from shell

[Laura S]

Sorry, still a shell newbie, so this might be simple. [I had Anaconda installed anyway. So I just did the steps creating a py3 environment etc. ]
Problem/question: I can only use the conda/jupyter commands from Windows Power Shell when I start it up from the Anaconda Navigator, but not when I open it (or in fact bash) right away. Is this normal? Should I have installed/accessed sth. differently?

You might need to check whether Anaconda has been added to your path environment variable. There are some instructions here:

Let me know if that helps!

Hi Cathrine,
Thanks, I was wondering if that was it – and it was! All up and running now!

Hi, am not sure if this is in the right place but I’m new to this environment.

Got the notebooks on Notable and am trying to run them in interactive mode on OSX. When I put ‘jupyter notebook’ into the terminal I get no localhost link, but this:

jupyter notebook
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh.

(base) maxs-MacBook-Pro:~ maxweisskopf$ jupyter notebook

Can you help?

This is a new feature of the latest version of MacOS (Catalina onwards) – Apple have changed the default shell. But this is not an error message – just information.

The (base) in your shell prompt suggests that you haven’t activated the Python virtual environment, so try:

(base) $ conda activate slp

and you should see your prompt change from (base) to (slp). Now try

(slp) $ jupyter notebook
