JupyterLab application assets not found

Question

I just downloaded jupyter lab using pip on my macbook. When I run jupyter lab on my terminal, browser opens with the following error:

JupyterLab Error JupyterLab application assets not found in "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/[email protected]/3.10.6_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/share/jupyter/lab" Please run jupyter lab build or use a different app directory

I can run jupyter notebook with no problem.

Note: I can use jupyter lab by running jupyter lab --code-mode

Answer 1

This issue can be resolved by manually set the application directory: jupyter lab --app-dir /opt/homebrew/share/jupyter/lab, replace /opt/homebrew with the actual homebrew path.

Encountered this issue when installing jupyterlab with pip3.
