ImportError: No module named jupyter_dashboards during installation

[bluprince13]

I've installed dashboards with pip install jupyter_dashboards

Then I use the following command:
jupyter nbextension install --py jupyter_dashboards --sys-prefix

Only to get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

It looks like you have jupyter-dashboards 0.2.0 installed which is quite old. The latest release on pypi is 0.7.0 (https://pypi.org/project/jupyter_dashboards/). Try a pip install --update jupyter_dashboards.

Thank you! That solved the problem - I should have checked the version myself before raising the issue. Sorry!

No problem. Cheers!
