Quarto
What exactly is needed to let jupyter run smoothly? #14436
-
DescriptionSince I've had several failed attempts (on different Linux distributions) to get quarto to successfully use jupyter, I'll try it this time this way: What exactly are the dependencies of jupyter to run with Quarto satisfactorily? ( A freshly installed v1.9.37-.deb (I think this is the latest stable version?) on Linux Mint 22.3 ''' [✓] Checking tools....................OK [✓] Checking LaTeX....................OK [✓] Checking Chrome Headless....................OK [✓] Checking basic markdown render....OK [✓] Checking R installation...........(None) [✓] Checking Python 3 installation....OK [✓] Checking Julia installation... bails out with the following error message (I will spare myself all other questions for the other distros at the moment, as long as this question has not yet been satisfactorily answered): ''' Jupyter is not available in this Python installation. However jupyter seems to be partly available, since "jupyter" imports "notebook", which tries to import "nbformat", which obviously fails as can be seen in the stacktrace. However on current Mint it not possible to install pip, though I doubt this would solve all problems: 
This is just one of several errors I have encountered while trying to get to work together with jupyter. |

your computer needs to synchronize with the software servers before it can build your new workspace. Simply open the terminal and type sudo apt update to refresh the system's memory; this tells the computer exactly where the new files are located. Once that is done, you must create a "Virtual Environment," which acts like a private toolbox where you can safely install the missing parts without the system blocking you. Open your terminal and run python3 -m venv quarto-env to create this workspace, then type source quarto-env/bin/activate to enter it. Once inside, simply run pip install jupyter nbformat nbclient ipykernel to add the "connector pins" Quarto is looking for; this satisfies the nbformat error and provides the engine needed to execute your code. After these steps, Quarto will recognize the Jupyter environment and successfully render your documents. |

Just an idea ...** |

venv is not the only method. Some use global install, some use conda, some use global environments and activate them on need basis. Some use uv, others poetry, etc. And the dependencies are listed in the documentation: https://quarto.org/docs/computations/python.html#installation

Maybe not in all cases, since after installation of the 1.9.36-deb the import of the modules "jupyter" and "notebook" works to the point when the "nbformat" import happens, which bails out with errors. |
