Jupyter Notebook Issues

Particular to running in WSL.

The usual way to start is with

jupyter notebook

But if error

jupyter Start : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.

The problem occurs because the Jupyter notebook tries to open the browser after it is started

Then start with any of:

jupyter notebook --no-browser
jupyter notebook --port=8889 --no-browser

There are two important steps:

Run

jupyter notebook --generate-config

to generate the file ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py then change the following line:

c.NotebookApp.use_redirect_file = False

Uncomment that line.

Add your browser to ~/.bashrc E.g.

export BROWSER='/mnt/c/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe'

Then

source ~/.bashrc
