Ultimately, I want a Notebook extension that has spell check. Following this tutorial I tried to install the jupyter_nbextensions_configurator
However, it doesn't seem to have been enabled as I never see the "Nbextensions" tab as promised.
Steps I took:
Installed pip package
pip install jupyter_nbextensions_configurator
Enabled the server extension with the command:
➜ jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable --user # can be skipped for notebook >=5.3
Enabling: jupyter_nbextensions_configurator
- Writing config: /home/hofbr/.jupyter
- Validating...
jupyter_nbextensions_configurator 0.6.1 OK
Enabling notebook nbextension nbextensions_configurator/config_menu/main...
Enabling tree nbextension nbextensions_configurator/tree_tab/main...
Refreshed my .zshrc
Yet, when opening up a fresh notebook (after shutting down all other jupyter environments) I still never see this fabled Nbextensions tab.
I am using miniconda version 4.7.10 and the latest version of jupyter notebook. I can launch jupyter notebook and navigate thorough my folders. I can even open a terminal in jupyter and run python code. However, when I try to open or create a .ipynb fileJjupyter gets stuck and I cannot even stop the process. I am using Ubuntu and I have tried with the latest and previous versions of jupyter notebook.
Since you are on Ubuntu, have you tried with docker? It's a one-off install that gives you access to the Docker Hub with a vast array of ready-made, tested applications complete with all necessary dependencies.
In case of Jupyter Lab/Notebook:
docker run -it -p 8888:8888 -v $PWD:/home/jovyan jupyter/datascience-notebook
I am trying to launch jupyter notebook from Anaconda prompt but it does not launch and there isn't any error in command prompt either. However, jupyter lab works ok and I am able to run notebooks.
Follow the steps:
conda update conda
conda update anaconda-navigator
conda update navigator-updater
and try again.
I am running jupyter notebook through Anaconda Navigator.
I tried installing variable explorer extension,
Although I was successful in installing the extension but I am not able to install its java and css dependencies
! pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
This works , however this doesn't works
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
Any help will be apreciated
Can you give it a try by using command:
jupyter nbextension enable varInspector/main
It worked for me.
I tried to install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions : http://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html
Everything worked fine but when I open a notebook nothing changes. I can't see the new tool bar that I'm supposed to see.
When I reinstall the Extension, the process is the same (I don't have a message tellign me that the files already exists). I don't have an error. So I can't figure out why it doesn't work.
Thanks a lot.
Follow 3 steps: In Terminal
pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
jupyter nbextension enable varInspector/main
after this you will see "Vaildating: ok"
Now you can open jupyter notebook you will see the require changes
Update Jan 2021
I was seeing this issue using the latest from pip packages.
Turns out it was related to:
https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/the-static-notebook-js-mathjaxutils-js-is-missing/7303
Basically, jupyter-notebook moved a .js file in a recent update causing the extensions tab to no longer appear.
Reverting to an older version works-around the issue:
pip install notebook==6.1.5
Also note that a substantial number of the extensions aren't officially supported by the 6.x version. So you may be better off reverting to 5.x until your desired extensions are 'officially' supported:
pip install notebook==5.7.10
Following are the commands which installs the jupyter nb_extensions
pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
The second command might give you below error:
jupyter contrib not found
Above command can be resolved as below:
- open cmd to install manually
cd .\Python\<your-python-version>\Lib\site-packages\jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
python application.py install
- Restart the jupyter notebook server
Note: Also make sure that your packages jupyter , notebook and your jupyter_contrib_nbextensions are installed for same version of python (and same --user if you have installed all your packages with --user flag)
First, follow this SO-post (go to the update) to install the extension.
Then shutdown the notebook server.
Then type $ jupyter nbextension enable varInspector/main.
If it says OK, you can start your notebook and should see the crosshair.
try to run this
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
then relaunch the Jupyter notebook.
this might solve the problem as it did for me.
Try this out ->
1)Open Anaconda Prompt.
2)Type in -
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
(if c is the default directory)
3)Proceed with the installation.
4)Exit the Anacodna prompt.
5)Relaunch Jupyter notebook.
(You will now see nbextensions tab)
Following steps with Anaconda Prompt ->
1)Open Anaconda Prompt.
2)Type in -
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
Enter 'y' for installation.
type in jupyter contrib nbextension install --sys-prefix
4)Exit the Anacodna prompt.
5)Relaunch Jupyter notebook. (You will now see nbextensions tab)
Screenshot of my installation
1 quick info -
1. even after enabling nbextensions, from the notebooks tree page,
2. you need to activate it on your Jupyter notebook.
See below.
Running following command one by one !!!
pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
jupyter nbextension enable spellchecker/main
jupyter nbextension enable codefolding/main
Posting this solution because it took me 20 minutes to figure out why my interface looked so different from all of the screenshots everyone else was posting. I hope it can prevent some other soul from making the same mistake I did:
I was running my Jupyter Notebook with the command jupyter-lab instead of jupyter notebook. I understand there are functional differences between the two, but in my case having spellcheck was much more important than any of the difference the two provided. As soon as I used jupyter notebook instead, it worked perfectly.
UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2023:
I first installed nbextensions using pip. Then I couldn't run the second command jupyter contrib nbextension install --user as the others and got the error Exception: Jupyter command 'jupyter-contrib' not found.
So, I tried installing using conda with this command:
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
NOTE 1: I had to run my Anaconda prompt in "Administration Mode" in order to be able to install using conda.
After that I could run the second command:
jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
And it's working now.
NOTE 2: I'm using the latest version of anaconda so I DID NOT need to revert my jupyter version as mentioned here.
Downgrading the notebook version to 5.6.0 worked for me.
pip install notebook==5.6.0
If this doesn't work for you, then return to your original version.
Good luck.
I followed the highest voted answer to install the nbextensions but received an error when I reboot the Jupyter Notebook:
404 GET /nbextensions/nbextensions_configurator/tree_tab/main.js?v=20220513151408
It seemed that what I've installed can not be found by Jupyter Notebook.
After checking the detailed installation log in the terminal, I found Nbextension has been installed into the python2.7 directory:
./Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages (from jupyter_contrib_nbextensions)
I am currently using Python 3 in Jupyter Notebook so I decided to uninstall what I have and reinstall Nbextension using pip3 instead of pip. Then I reboot Jupyter Notebook and saw the Nbextensions tab (next to the tab Clusters)!
In sum, based on my attempt, I would recommend using pip3 instead of pip to avoid an installation in Python 2 directory.
My installed package version (windows 11):
notebook 6.5.2
jupyter-contrib-nbextensions 0.7.0
jupyter-nbextensions-configurator 0.6.1
Though I can not get the nbextensions menu tab out using the methods mentioned in the previous try outs of this post, I can still use the jupyter nbextension enable <require path> command in the ../python3/scripts folder as following examples which I use frequently:
jupyter nbextension enable varInspector/main
jupyter nbextension enable toc2/main
jupyter nbextension enable execute_time/ExecuteTime
jupyter nbextension enable hide_input/main
jupyter nbextension enable splitcell/splitcell
jupyter nbextension enable code_prettify/code_prettify
Then the variable inspector, table of contents, split cell, hide inputs and code prettify buttons appear in the notebook page. Other extensions can be tried replacing command's <require path> which can be found under the older version's notebook extensions tab that doesn't have the problem.
Change old path notebook/js/mathjaxutils to base/js/mathjaxutils.js to load the dependency correctly.
This solve my problem.
