How To Get IPython Notebook To Run Python 3?

I am new to Python to bear with me.

1. I installed Anaconda, works great.
2. I setup a Python 3 environment following the Anaconda cmd line instructions, works great.
3. I setup Anaconda's Python 3 environment as Pycharm's interpreter, works great.
4. I launched the Anaconda "launcher.app" and launched IPython Notebook. However, iPython Notebook is running Python 2 not 3.

Over three hours of Googling later, I cannot figure out how to set IPython Notebook to run Python 3 instead of 2.

Solution 1:

To set IPython Notebook to run Python 3 instead of 2 on my MAC 10.9, I did the following steps

$ sudo pip3 install ipython[all]

Then

$ ipython3 notebook

Solution 2:

For linux 16.04 Ubuntu you can use

sudo apt-get install ipython3

and then use

ipython3 notebook

to open the notebook in the browser. If you have any notebooks saved with python 2 then it will automatically convert them to Python 3 once you open the notebook.

Solution 3:

To use jupyter with python 3 instead of python 2 on my Windows 10 with Anaconda, I did the following steps on anaconda prompt:

pip3 install ipython[all]

Then,

ipython3 notebook

Solution 4:

Is there a package from your distro? If you're using ubuntu you must to install the ipython3-notebook package. If not, maybe you must to install ipython with python3.

If you've run (because it's python2 by default)

python setup.py

you must to run instead

python3 setup.py install

to install a package with python3 instead python2. This will be a new instalation of ipython3.
