how to open Jupyter notebook in chrome on windows

Question

On my Windows PC, i have anaconda installed and when I open a jupyter notebook, it opens up in internet explorer, but I would like to use Chrome instead. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Answer 1

If you haven't already, create a notebook config file by running

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Then, edit the file jupyter_notebook_config.py found in the .jupyter folder of your home directory.

You need to change the line # c.NotebookApp.browser = '' to c.NotebookApp.browser = 'C:/path/to/your/chrome.exe %s'

On windows 10, Chrome should be located C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe but check on your system to be sure.

Answer 2

Just make chrome as a default browser and launch the jupyter . It will work

To Make Google chrome a default browser , follow steps

1. Click on Customize and Control Google chrome (The vertical three dots on the Upper right corner of your google chrome browser)
2. Click on Settings and scroll down to Default browser.
3. Change the value of the default browser to Google Chrome by clicking on whatever your default browser is there and selecting Google Chrome.

Note:

In windows 10, you will be redirected to Default apps under your computer's Settings. Please scroll down to Web browser and Select Google Chrome. If promted, Click on OK else just close the settings tab and return to your command or anaconda prompt and type jupyter notebook as usual. A new jupyter notebook tab should open in Google Chrome now.

Answer 3

For those who still have trouble launching Chrome automatically from cmd, try replacing

# c.NotebookApp.browser =''

in the file jupyter_notebook_config.py with

import webbrowser
webbrowser.register('chrome', None, webbrowser.GenericBrowser('C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'))
c.NotebookApp.browser = 'chrome'

or the appropriate location, there shouldn't be need to install anything via pip.

Answer 4

Create and edit the jupyter notebook config file with the following steps:

• Launch Anaconda Prompt
• Type jupyter notebook --generate-config
• Type notepad path_to_file/jupyter_notebook_config.py to open it (change path_to_file)
• Modify #c.NotebookApp.browser = '' to c.NotebookApp.browser = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'
• Save the file and close it

Jupyter notebook will now use Chrome.

EDIT

In Windows 10 I had to type

• notepad .jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

And substitute the line with

• c.NotebookApp.browser = 'C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'

Answer 6

Take any html file on your computer and set the default browser to open html files to chrome. This will automatically open jupyter notebook with chrome. Worked for me.

Answer 7

I found an easier solution that may help beginners to coding.

go to

C:\Users\'-your user-'\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\runtime

and find a file named

nbserver-6176-open.html

then

Right-click > open with > Choose default program...

Here, what ever you choose would be saved on your Windows to open all HTML files; therefore when you run Jupyter notebook, it would open in the program you want.

Answer 8

• Run the jupyter notebook --generate-config command on the anaconda prompt.
• Then edit the jupyter_notebook_config.py file.

Find the c.NotebookApp.Browser like this:

c.NotebookApp.browser = 'c:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'

Works on mine.

Answer 9

For windows set the default browser to open html files to Chrome. Configuration > Default Apps > Default Apps by File Type. Worked for me.

Answer 10

You don't have to change anything in the jupyter config code, you just have to make Chrome as your default browser in the setting. Jupyter opens whichever is the default.

Answer 11

For some reason Louise's answer didn't work for me I had to:

-Open anaconda prompt and generate the config file for Jupyter: jupyter notebook --generate-config

-Open the newly created config file at: C:\Users\builder\.juptyer\jupyter_notebook_config.py

-Add the following to the file:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.register('chrome', None, webbrowser.GenericBrowser(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'))
c.NotebookApp.browser = 'chrome'
