默认情况下如何使jupyter在当前目录中启动（在cmd.exe中）？

Question

In Windows 10 cmd.exe I can start jupyter in a current directory by following command:

jupyter notebook --notebook-dir="."

The current directory is C:\\Users\\Евгений\\Documents\\GitHub\\sandbox

However, when I start simply jupyter notebook in a current directory above my working directory for jupyter is D:/git :

λ cd
C:\Users\Евгений\Documents\GitHub\sandbox
λ jupyter notebook
[I 14:46:44.273 NotebookApp] The port 8888 is already in use, trying another port.
[I 14:46:44.304 NotebookApp] JupyterLab beta preview extension loaded from D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\jupyterlab
[I 14:46:44.304 NotebookApp] JupyterLab application directory is D:\Anaconda3\share\jupyter\lab
[I 14:46:44.571 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: D:/git

Note the last line Serving notebooks from local directory: D:/git . Where is D:/git may be coming from? Are there environment variables other than these affecting working directory choice?

• My %USERPROFILE%/.jupyter is totally empty.
• jupyter --config-dir directs to C:\\Users\\Евгений\\.jupyter , it is %USERPROFILE%/.jupyter .

I read various threads about jupyter invoke, in particular:

• this large thread suggests jupyter notebook will behave differently in cmd.exe and Anaconda prompt, without further details though
• Problems with configuring Jupyter start directory addresses an issue with Windows shortcut, similar to this Windows app start steps
• this post proposes wrapping --notebook-dir="." key into a .bat file

My other thought is that %USERPROFILE% with non-Latin character is not be recongnisable by jupyter , but %USERPROFILE%/.jupyter is empty anyways.

Answer 1

You must generate the configuration of Jupyter .

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Navigate to your folder and the folder .jupyter (C:\\Users\\%username%\\.jupyter)
You will find a file called jupyter_notebook_config.py
Edit it with notepad++ for exemple and locate c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir

Between ' ' put the path you want. For exemple :

c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'C:/Users/Евгений/Documents/GitHub/sandbox'

Save it and start Jupyter without specifying a path
Be careful, the characters in your username may be a problem.

Keep me informed.

Answer 2

Use the jupyter notebook config file:

Open cmd (or Anaconda Prompt) and run jupyter notebook --generate-config .

This writes a file to C:\\Users\\username\\.jupyter\\jupyter_notebook_config.py .

Browse to the file location and open it in an Editor

Search for the following line in the file: #c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = ''

Replace by c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'D:/git'

Make sure you use forward slashes in your path

Remove the # at the beginning of the line to allow the line to execute
