Error installing RISE plugin from Conda

[luraess]

I m trying to install the RISE plugin for Jupyter notebook as suggested in their website for Julia doing

using Conda
Conda.add_channel("conda-forge")
Conda.add("rise")

However, I ma getting following error leading to an instal abort:

stderr: /Users/ludovic/.julia/conda/3/aarch64/bin/.rise-post-link.sh: line 1: /Users/ludovic/.julia/conda/3/aarch64/bin/jupyter-nbextension: No such file or directory

The RISE suggests that if one would be using pip to install rise, then lately the jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix would no longer be needed as this should now be part of the install script. I am wondering if there is anything that would need to be fixed in the Conda installer?

This is happening with Julia 1.9.3 on MacOS Ventura (M2 arm Mac).

I am using Jupyter installed from Conda:

Seems to be a Conda issue and not a Conda.jl issue.

I think you might need to pin your python version to 3.9.

I think you might need to pin your python version to 3.9.

Thanks will try. Do you know if this can be achieved within Conda.jl?

EDIT:
I also found damianavila/RISE#643 (comment)
And in turn it seems that using notebook < v7 works:

add Conda
add Ijulia
using Conda
Conda.pip_interop(true)
Conda.pip("install", "notebook==6.5.5")
using Pkg
Pkg.build("IJulia")
Conda.pip("install", "RISE")

[jd-foster]

As mentioned in that linked issue:

for people interested in using RISE in jupyterlab and/or notebook-7, there is a successor:
pip install jupyterlab-rise
which is the outcome of
https://github.com/jupyterlab-contrib/rise

but haven't tried it out.

[jd-foster]

I agree with you that this seems entirely on the Python installation side of things and almost nothing to do with the Julia aspects.

I am closing the issue but at least a working solution is documented here while they will hopefully fix things on the RISE side.
