VSCode fails to export jupyter notebook to html

Question

I have a jupyter notebook in VSCode that I'm trying to export to html with the built-in buttons in VSCode, however I keep getting this error that says 'jupyter-nbconveter' is not found.

I'm using Windows 10.

Answer 2

I have a jupyter notebook in VSCode that I'm trying to export to html with the built-in buttons in VSCode, however I keep getting this error that says 'jupyter-nbconveter' is not found.

I'm using pip and have pip installed anything jupyter related I can thing of: jupyter, jupyterlab , nbconvert, notebook.

Any ideas what might be causing the issue? I'm using Windows 10.
