Jupyter Configurable nbextensions list is empty

Question

I installed conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_nbextensions_configurator and ran jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable --user in my venv, but the nbextensions menu is empty. I've restarted notebook a few times, no luck. How can I get the menu to show up so that I can click and select TOC, etc.?

I found the answer here, in an open issue on Github

I ran the following in Anaconda prompt:

conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable --user

(note that conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_nbextensions_configurator had already been run in the prompt)

And then launched notebook and the extensions were available:

Python 3.9 update: I also had to replace `template_path` with `template_paths` in a few files, as described in the open issue on Gihub ([Link](https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/issues/1529#issuecomment-814677078)). Then I also had to run `jupyter contrib nbextension install --user` in the Anaconda prompt. – a11 Nov 22 '21 at 19:50

If someone's still struggling - like me - use this, worked fine for me: https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/issues/1196#issuecomment-903668248

In anaconda navigator - go to environments (below HOME) - select base - open terminal

then paste this code

conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions

then

jupyter contrib nbextension install --user

after that

conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf202003 jupyter_contrib_nbextensions

then Refresh applications --> check nbextensions

When I give command - jupyter contrib nbextension install --user, I get - jupyter-contrib: error: argument --user: expected one argument. What is problem here? — Nizamuddin Shaikh, Nov 27 '22 at 08:46
