Install library for jupyter notebook

Question

I start my jupyter notebook with python2 as:

jupyter notebook nameofnotebook

Then I want to import library like this:

import scipy

But I have an error telling that there is no such library.

So I execute in the notebook cell:

!pip2 install scipy
Requirement already satisfied: scipy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

How to install package correctly to jupyter kernel?

Answer 1

@håken-lid is right. There are probably several versions of python. So to install your package to python where your jupyter is located:

$ which jupyter
/YOURPATH/bin/jupyter
$ /YOURPATH/bin/pip install scipy

This will do for Python 2.x

For Python 3.x pip3 will be in /YOURPATH/bin instead of single pip
