Previously, I had Canopy installed and at that time, I could simply double click on ipynb files and open them into the browser.
However, later I needed Anaconda and once I installed it, this feature was gone.
Now I just want to be able to simply double click on ipynb files and the file gets open into the Firefox. Is it possible?
I read about this:
nbopen
pip install nbopen
python -m nbopen.install_win
But it didn't solve my problem. I appreciate any help.
Yes, this is possible. Running python -m nbopen.install_win installs the executable nbopen.exe in the Scripts folder of your anaconda directory. For me this is:
PS> (gcm nbopen).Path
E:\Programs\anaconda\Scripts\nbopen.exe
The first line gets the path of the nbopen command (using PowerShell). If you are not using PowerShell you can find your conda directory by right-clicking on any (I)Python executable in your start menu and look at where it links to.
You can then associate the nbopen.exe file with the .ipynb filetype:
Right-click on a .ipynb file.
Click on Properties
Click on the Change button next to "Open With:"
Click on Browse, browse to the path you found out and select nbopen.exe.
Double-clicking on .ipynb files now checks if a notebook server is running and opens the notebook. If no server is running, one is started in the active directory.
Checkout this Firefox plugin. Python Notebook Viewer.
This plugin lets you view/render python notebooks without running notebook server. Once installed, set Firefox as default app to open ipynb files. From now onwards, you can simply open ipynb files by simply double clicking on it!
This saves a lot of time as most of the time developers are just keen on seeing a code. It also saves a hassle of browsing directories in Jupyter Notebook window to reach to a specific file.
If m00am's solution doesn't work and nbopen.exe file doesn't show up then do the following:
Uninstall Anaconda.
Install Anaconda again and make sure you add Anaconda to Windows path during the installation.
Then try m00am's solution again.
This worked for me:)

I'm able to see my .ipynb files when using Jupyter (installed through Anaconda), but I just can't see them in my Desktop or wherever they're saved when using Windows File Explorer. What could cause this and how can I locate the files?
Here is what I mean:
Windows File Explorer
Jupyter
I was having the same problem has you, my solution download the file through jupyter.
File -> Download.
I still can't understand the reason why but after I downloaded the file from the same folder into the same folder it start appearing in my windows explorer folder
I had the same problem as you but realized that it was just a minor thing.
For me, I had installed Anaconda only for the current user. So it was using "C:\Users\username\Desktop" and not "C:\Users\Public\Desktop". The latter is the usual Desktop that is referred to as "This PC\Desktop".
Try looking into "C:\Users\username\Desktop".
Through some wizardry I cannot recall, I managed to install and implement Jupyter Notebook with an icon that opens Jupyter directly in browser
I am occasionally asked how I did this. However, and slightly emparisingly, I cannot remember how I did this and am unable to help. I cannot seem to recreate this Jupyter Icon in any other set up
Also, in attempting to recreate this Icon, I somehow managed to implement two Anaconda Prompts, Anaconda PowerShell Prompt and Anaconda Prompt
What is the difference between the two? Which one should I remove?
I somehow managed to implement two Anaconda Prompts, Anaconda PowerShell Prompt and Anaconda Prompt
That is standard. The first Anaconda Prompt, will open the legacy cmd configured for conda. The second will open a powershell configured for conda. SO just keep both and use the one you are more comfortable with.
How to open jupyter notebook from Windows 10 task bar
Simply search for jupyter in the start menu and select Pin To Taskbar
Creating it manually
In case the above does not work, then you can manually create a shortcut and pin it to the taskbar. For that, we will need two paths, which for me are these:
pathBase=C:\Users\FlyingTeller\miniconda3 #main folder of miniconda (or anaconda)
pathEnv=C:\Users\FlyingTeller\miniconda3\envs\py37 #Folder of the environment where jupyter notebook is installed
Then you do the following steps:
Right Click on Desktop->New->Shortcut, enter as target path:
<pathBase>\python.exe <pathBase>\cwp.py <pathEnv> <pathEnv>\python.exe <pathEnv>\Scripts\jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/
replacing the paths with the ones from above. Save the shortcut and then do Right Click->Properties.
Now you can change the Start In directory to wherever you want the notebook to start. Additionally, you can change the icon to the jupyter icon, which is in
<pathEnv>\Menu
Now you have
A shortcut to start the notebook on your desktop
The possibility to simply do Right Click-> Pin to Taskbar for that Shortcut
Search for Anaconda Navigator in your computer then Right Click and Select "Open file location".
In the folder that is opened you can find shortcuts of programs that are installed via anaconda. You can copy and paste them anywhere you want.
I have a machine learning project in drive D. It contains python notebook files. But when I launch jupyter notebook through command prompt, it only shows directories inside drive C. How can I navigate to a drive other than C drive without changing jupyter notebook startup path?. I'm using windows 10 operating system. All the solutions I found, trying to change notebook startup path.
You can launch it from any drive/location you want with the --notebook-dir option.
For example:
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:/
Follow these steps:
Open Anaconda Prompt
Insert this command,
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=NameOfTheDrive:.
As Example for Drive D, jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:
To permanently change the default directory of Jupyter do the following:
Look for the Shortcut to open Jupyter notebook.
Right Click on the Shortcut
Go to Properties.
Look for ....jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/"
Change %USERPROFILE%/ to the folder you wish.
Restart Jupyter notebook.
Open the Anaconda Prompt
type the following:
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:\
This is what worked for me in windows.
Okay, this question seems to have already been addresses, but I'd like to add quick step launch solution for this case. I created a batch file (windows .bat file) with the following script and saved it on my desktop. I just double click it to launch the files in the respective drive.
#echo ON
title Launch Jupyter notebooks from Drive D
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:
#echo OFF
Copy paste this code in a text file and save it as a *.bat file on your Desktop. Just fire it up every time you want to launch Jupyter.
You can create various versions of this file for each drive as required and keep them handy.
Another good option is from your terminal go to the disk you want to start jupyter by example :
cd D:
And then launch jupyter notebook
jupyter notebook
If you are using JupyterLab, just type in your desired terminal;
jupyter lab --notebook-dir=D:/
It will create a new port to access D: drive in JupyterLab
Open Jupyter notebook as usual
Click on New\Terminal
Type the code below in terminal, where you want to point to F drive
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=F:/
Jupter notebook new session url will open in your default internet explorer
you can directly access by following command:
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:/
Alternate method is go to Anaconda Prompt or Anaconda Termial
then Access D drive and launch the jupyter notebook
D:
jupyter notebook
*To change just one time :
user following code in your Anaconda prompt .
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=E:
*To permanently change the default directory of Jupyter do the following:
Right click on Jupyter notebook icon.
Go to Properties.
In shortcut tab->target you will find something like this -> jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/"
Change %USERPROFILE%/ to the folder you want to start from eg : jupyter-notebook-script.py "E:\folder_path".
Restart Jupyter notebook.
My solution is to create a batch file which allows me to execute jupyter at the current directory.
Create a batch file jupy.bat with the following content:
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=%1
Save the jupy.bat in some folder, let say in d:\scripts
Append d:\scripts in PATH environment variable. So that i can call jupy just everywhere.
From now on, i can go to the folder where i store my notebooks, and execute the command:
jupy .
This is to open Jupiter lab from E Drive
Open Anaconda Prompt
Type the code below in terminal, where you want to point to E drive
jupyter lab --notebook-dir=E:/
My repositories are in the drive R.
I am running Jupyter on Windows 10 in the Ubuntu 18.04, so the drive R is at /mnt/r.
$ nano ~/.bashrc
alias notebook="jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=/mnt/r"
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ notebook
It does not open the browser automatically, so I have to copy the URL manually.
It may ask you to enter the token which you can get by executing:
$ jupyter notebook list
The most easiest solution in my opinion
Open Notepad
Paste the command "jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=1.0e10"
Save the notepad file with an extension of ".bat" instead of ".txt"
Paste the file in which directory you want to initialize your jupyter
Double click and open the ".bat" file
Jupyter opens with desired directory as base
This way you control the jupyter root directory as and when required and don't
really have to perform any manual settings
Hope this helps
".bat" file created on Desktop
".bat" file double clicked and executed
jupyter opens with Desktop as the intended base directory
Got a small basic question. I use a Mac, and I used to work in .py files with Sublime 3. One of the things I liked was that when Sublime is closed, for a given file in a folder--if I'm looking for a bit of code--I could hit the spacebar and Macs open a quick preview of the .py document.
Now I'm working in Jupyter Notebook and saving everything as .ipynb files. Now I can't hit the spacebar and glance at files--I launch JN from the command land and it's far slower.
I suspect there are quicker ways to open .ipynb files in browser windows, but what I really want to know is is there a way to quickly preview those file contents from my desktop? Alternatively, is there a way to work in Jupiter Notebook but save the files as .py (and later seamlessly reopen in JN), such that I could still use the great old spacebar trick?
Thanks for you patience with a pretty small question :)
It's been a while since the last answer, but just in case anyone else is looking to use Mac Quicklook to preview Jupyter Notebooks .ipynb files, this app does the job:
Jupyter Notebook Viewer - https://github.com/tuxu/nbviewer-app
You can either download the app from that page or install using brew cask
brew cask install jupyter-notebook-viewer
If the preview is not working you should reload quicklook.
Just open a terminal windows and run. It worked for me on macOS High Sierra.
qlmanage -r
Now enjoy quicklook preview for Jupyter Notebook files :)
I had this same question at the weekend.
I came across two things:
a) this project on Github: https://github.com/jendas1/jupyter-notebook-quick-look
and
b) The Jupyter app which allows you to open Notebooks in Finder on the mac: https://github.com/jendas1/JupyterApp
Caveat - I book marked these, but due to other work I have not had time to download, install or test these.
If you do, please let me know how you get on!
As an update to the previous answers, I'd like to recommend nbviewer.js which is a client-side ipynb renderer. You can use it online at https://kokes.github.io/nbviewer.js/viewer.html
In case anyone wants to do the same on linux, you can check this out
nb-viewer which lets you preview Jupyter notebooks with a double click!
Update for the most recent version of MacOS (tested on macOS Big Sur v11.6) & newer brew versions:
To install Jupyter Notebook Viewer - https://github.com/tuxu/nbviewer-app follow these steps:
brew install --cask jupyter-notebook-viewer
Manually start /Applications/Jupyter Notebook Viewer.app using command + open (to allow a third-party app to be started)
qlmanage -r
I have a latest windows netbeans version (6.9.1) and i want to instal a python plugin for it. I have no problems on a computer that has internet connection, it's just tools->plugins->Available. But i have another computer that don't have internet connection available :(. Is it possible to install python addin for it? Where i can download the .nbm file?
Check:
/home/username/netbeans-6.9.1/php/update/download
I tested it with the php plugin so you should check the python directory. Or if you are using windows you may find somewhere similar.
If no .nbm file there, you may try:
Uninstall python plugin from the other computer, and reinstall it. Don't restart NetBeans immediately, check the directory, and copy all the files.
Click Tools -> Plugins, and in the plugin dialog box, click the "Downloaded" tab. On that tab, click the "Add Plugin" button, which will open a file browser dialog box, allowing you to give Netbeans the location of your downloaded .nbm file. Easy!
You can find Netbeans plugins here: http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/
