I would like to use ipython notebook. When I type ipython notebook in the command line, I get:
Could not start notebook. Please install ipython-notebook The problem is that I do not have root privileges on the system (I use Ubuntu). I think that there is a work around with virtual environment but I do not know how exactly to use it. Could anybody please help me with that? What sequence of the command should I execute to be able to use ipython notebook in my browser?
After running pip install ipython[notebook], you need to deactivate the virtualenv and then activate it again.
In other words:
$ deactivate $ workon my-virtualenv (my-virtualenv)$ ipython notebook & 
sudo apt-get install ipython-notebook 
Enthought Canopy can handle all the IPython-related installation issues for you. It also installs itself in its own virtual environment along with lots of other useful tools like nose and numpy. It opens notebooks in it's own IDE so you can easily switch between your notebook, the IPython interpreter, and other Python scripts. I use it with Ubuntu 12.04 and have had good success with it so far.
Why not using pip as it's explained in the official docs?
http://ipython.org/notebook.html
pip install "ipython[notebook]" pip install --upgrade ipython[notebook]
that fix the problem for me .... appear that --upgrade fix some dependence or something else ....
Take a look at the adamdklein blog post. It takes you step-by-step through how to setup ipython and other mathematical goodies in a virtualenv (using Ubuntu).
Install Ipython notebook using the following command
pip install jupyter Or, install Anaconda. Ipython notebook is included in the Anaconda package.
Reference:
Now Ubuntu wants to not support Python note book. You just need to install Jupyter notebook instead of python notebook where you can access Python also. Below is the command for installation of Jupyter notebook.
sudo apt-get install Jupyter-notebook Run this command in terminal:
pip install ipython[notebook]
