When I open the notebook e.g. at home home / user / Desktop / multifit-master / notebooks / CLS-DE.ipynb.

And then type in the notebook (CLS-DE.ipynb) %cd I get:

home/user

Shouldn't this be the directory where I opened my notebook? It means :

home / user / Desktop / multifit-master / notebooks / CLS-DE.ipynb

How to make a notebook in the directory where I open it?

I want to see after typing %cd in CLS-DE.ipynb notebook this directory:

home / user / Desktop / multifit-master / notebooks / CLS-DE.ipynb

To answer your first question, %cd executes shell command cd, which means "go to home directory". Your home directory is /home/user.

If you want to change where jupyter saves notebooks:

  • Define it when starting jupyter jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=home/user/Desktop/multifit-master/notebooks for Jupyter or jupyter-lab --notebook-dir=home/user/Desktop/multifit-master/notebooks for JupyterLab.
  • Switch to the required directory before starting jupyter.

To get what you want, i.e. "I want to see after typing %cd in CLS-DE.ipynb notebook this directory", you'd have to change HOME environment variable. I'd never go this way, as number of tools, scripts, libraries etc. might refer to you HOME. Changing it is likely to bring unforeseen consequences, with little benefit.

In the terminal use cd to go in to the respective directory. Once there, type "jupyter notebook" in the terminal. This should open the notebook in that directory.

And to make sure that the notebook is open in the directory you wanted, type "%pwd". It means "print working directory".
