How can I run jupyter notebook from my virtual environment?

Question

I have created a virtual environment with Python3.3 which I need to interface with Siemens NX. conda create -n nxve python=3.3 anaconda

I wan to run jupyter notebook from this virtual environment. When I try to install it, I'm getting version conflicts.

activate nxev
conda install jupyter
Fetching package metadata ...........
Solving package specifications: .

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in 
conflict:
  - jupyter -> ipykernel -> jupyter_client -> jupyter_core -> python 2.7*
  - python 3.3*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

How an I get jupyter notebook installed in this virtual environment? Alternatively, is it possible to run the virtual environment kernel from the root installation of jupyter notebook?

Answer 1

The Jupyter stack often spawns other processes. My guess is that when you run python on the command line it will resolve to python 2.7. Try setting an alias:

alias python=python3

Also make sure that your PATH and PYTHONPATH variables are not pointing to anything python2 related.
