I just started using a Mac, so please forgive me if this sounds too naive.

I'm trying to install Interactive Parallel. From https://github.com/ipython/ipyparallel, it says I need to find jupyter_notebook_config.py.

I've already installed python and related packages with Anaconda, and I can use the ipython notebook. But when I search with spotlight for jupyter_notebook_config.py, I just can't find this file:

So, where can I find this file?

UPDATE: this is my home folder:

There is only anaconda.

Look in your home directory for a .jupyter folder. It should contain the file according to the docs:

The notebook web server can also be configured using Jupyter profiles and configuration files. The Notebook web server configuration options are set in a file named jupyter_notebook_config.py in your Jupyter directory, which itself is usually .jupyter in your home directory.

If the .jupyter folder does not contain a jupyter_notebook_config.py file, you need to generate it with jupyter notebook --generate-config.

  • I only find `anaconda`. Is `.jupyter` hidden? How can I disply it? – ZK Zhao Sep 17 '15 at 09:03

    @cqcn1991 Yes the dot means, that the folder is hidden. [Here](http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-show-hidden-files-in-mac-os-x-finder-3520878/) is an article explaining how to show hidden files in MacOS X. – rkrzr Sep 17 '15 at 09:14

    Ok, my fault. I should generate it first using `jupyter notebook --generate-config` – ZK Zhao Sep 17 '15 at 10:24
  • @cqcn1991 Lol thanks, your own comment helped me much more than anything I've found on the internet. – Ivan Yurchenko Jun 30 '17 at 04:10

try this command: 

jupyter --paths

    Excellent, this worked for me; while `.jupyter` folder did not have the `jupyter_notebook_config.py` file, I did find it in one of the paths listed here – MichaelChirico Nov 25 '18 at 14:43

As cqcn1991 said, you first need to generate the config file.

After drilling down from my home path here's where I found the executable to generate the config file and how I generated it.

I also had to reference the jupyter executable file with ./ as I apparently don't have that in my path just yet but will add it.

cd /Users/myMac/anaconda2/bin
 ./jupyter notebook --generate-config
Writing default config to: /Users/myMac/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Then I did find the config file in my home directory.

Should you Uninstalling Anaconda for that :

$ herm -rf ~/anaconda3re

$ conda install anaconda-clean

$ anaconda-clean

$ anaconda-clean --yes

$ export PATH="/Users/jsmith/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

That's Solve my problem On mac ; For more information visite : https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/
