ipython, jupyter-notebook, python, ubuntu, virtualenv

Solution

After running `pip install ipython[notebook]`, you need to deactivate the virtualenv and then activate it again.

(my-virtualenv)$ ipython notebook &

Problem

I would like to use ipython notebook. When I type `ipython notebook` in the command line, I get: ``` Could not start notebook. Please install ipython-notebook ``` The problem is that I do not have root privileges on the system (I use Ubuntu). I think that there is a work around with virtual environment but I do not know how exactly to use it. Could anybody please help me with that? What sequence of the command should I execute to be able to use ipython notebook in my browser?
