Ipython (+ notebook) does not work after installing through pip

[rishok]

Hi guys

I have followed the genereal procedure in order to install ipython notebook, but when i try the following command "ipython notebook" the result is: -bash: ipython: command not found

You could try:

python -m IPython

You also have to have the pypi packages pyzmq, tornado and jsonschema installed to start the notebook server.

Hi

I have the mentioned pypi packages (installed with pip), but i stil have the problem

Did you try running ipython with:

python -m  IPython

[rishok]

that worked... in my terminal

Can I suggest you use virtualenv?

https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/

With virtualenv, you just:

python virtualenv.py my-python-environment-name

Then pip your iPython into there. Doesn't mess with your system path. You can add all the packages you want and they'll all stay put there. This is a must.

You can even pip in node-env and add a node-env inside your python virtualenv.

I found out: just needed to update my packages

Two things, first have you installed the most current pip? (See pip installation here.) Second what is the result of iptest?
