Notebook-view doesn't work with jupyter installed in $HOME

[kain88-de]

I followed the installation instructions for linux but I don't get it to use the notebook interface when I open .ipynb files. Instead they are opened in JSON mode.

It might be important to know that I have installed almost all my python packages in my home directory. So the jupyter script is in $HOME/.local/bin. I'm new to atom and have no idea if it will be able to look in $HOME/.local/bin as well for executables.

Toggle the Developer Tools (CTRL+ALT+I) and watch the console as you try to open an ipynb file. It sounds like jupyter-notebook is exiting due to an exception...

Failed to require the main module of 'jupyter-notebook' because it requires an incompatible native module.
Run apm rebuild in the package directory to resolve.

Looks like the extension isn't even loaded. Ok I could fix that by clicking on the red bug icon in the lower right corner (running apm rebuild in the package folder didn't help, but that has been reported elsewhere)

Good thing the notebook is now rendered correctly. But it complains that jupyter couldn't be spawned. This is likely because I have installed it at $HOME and atom doesn't pick up my personal configuration for $PATH (I set it as well in $HOME/.profile which should be picked up by most processes started by me).

A fix for me would be nice if you add a config option to tell the extension where I have installed jupyter.

I added an option to set jupyter binary path: 8e616ef

[kain88-de]

Thanks for adding the option. But I still have the same problem that jupyter couldn't be spawned.

I entered the path (/heom/max/.local/bin) that is returned by which jupyter. I'm not sure if this matters but I'm running Linux.

What is the exact error message that you're seeing?

Open the Developer Tools console and type process.env.PATH to confirm
that your jupyter path is in there. If you don't see it, then add it and
try opening a notebook. Report back what you find...

[kain88-de]

I get the following error message

'jupyter' could not be spawned. Is it installed and on your path? If so please open an issue on the package spawning the process.

Checking the path in the console gives.

process.env.PATH
"/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:~/.local/bin"

As well what is the command that you use to start/connect to the jupyter notebook? It could still be that my jupyter installation isn't working correct.

[gnestor]

It sounds like your jupyter path is /heme/max/.local/bi, so try this in the
console: process.env.path = process.env.path + ':/heme/max/.local/bi' and
then try to open a notebook. If that doesn't work, try copying and pasting
that to your init script and reloading Atom (command palette > Reload) and
then try opening a notebook.

@kain88-de Any luck?

[kain88-de]

@gnestor no luck. I can't even update the package currently because node-gyp rebuild fails. It is missing headers for to compile some c-functions (I'm a little bit surprised that I have to compile C-code to install some javascript). I'll reported the issue with the atom team.

[gnestor]

See: #23

There is an issue with node-gyp and Python 3. Try explicitly setting the Python version PYTHON=python2 apm install.

[gnestor]

@kain88-de Still having problems?

[kain88-de]

After updating atom and jupyter the error has changed but still no luck installing the extension.

It now complains about an error with jupyter-js-utils.

[gnestor]

Ok good at least that correlates with another current issue: #32 (comment)

[kain88-de]

I'll close this since the original issue has been resolved. Thanks
