Error loading Jupyter Notebook Extensions

Question

I am using a Macbook with OS Sierra, and running Python 3.6.1 and Jupyter Notebook Server 5.0.0 I installed Jupyter Notebook extensions, following the instructions as mentioned on https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions While the notebooks work fine on my system, I cannot view the nbextensions tab. The following is the error log I see on running `jupyter notebook` in terminal. I have seen some related problems posted here on SO, but they seem to be about installing specific extensions. Further, one of the solutions seemed to be suggest `pip install jupyter_nbextensions_configurator`, but as can be seen from the output below, I already have the extension installed. ``` Requirement already satisfied: traitlets in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from jupyter_nbextensions_configurator) Requirement already satisfied: tornado in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (from jupyter_nbextensions_configurator) ``` However, in the logs, you will notice that `Modu…

I had the same problem. Here is how I solved it.

I have downloaded Anaconda python version 3.7. I already had Python 3.6.7 on my system.

I'd get this error if I did:

```
pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
```

To solve it, I did:

```
python3.7 -m pip install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
```

I have not tried this, but this could solve your problem too:

```
conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_nbextensions_configurator
```

So I guess the problem is because of there being multiple versions of Python on your system. The one which Anaconda uses and the one which the "normal pip" uses are probably different.
