I tried today to install the dev version of IPython, but when i run "ipython notebook --pylab=inline" I get an empty notebook opens (no dash board, just a whit blank page) and the command line says:

WARNING:tornado.access:404 GET /static/components/jquery-ui/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.min.css (127.0.0.1) 0

It might be due to the installation I did, which was by the guidance in ipython site, but still didnt go smooth. this is what i did:

  1. installed python.
  2. installed disutils
  3. installed pip
  4. installed git (from an installer)
  5. cloned the ipython code using git
  6. installed ipython.

I thought that was enough. but when I tried to launch the notebook it failed, telling me that pyzmq is not found. so I installed pyzmq. next launch failed as well, this time because of jinja2. so i installed it too. next i installed tornado.. and so on until i got the notebook up. but when it did, happen the mentioned in the top.

Cant figure out what went wrong. any help?

  • How did you perform the install in step#6? Did it complete cleanly? Do you have any logs from that install? Commented Aug 5, 2013 at 14:35
  • no logs unfortunately, the cmd buffer was too short. I did as mentioned in the dev installation guide: "python setup.py install" from the ipython directory created in the git folder. I didnt see no error in the installation, perhaps some warnings.. I can install it again and watch for errors if needed... Commented Aug 5, 2013 at 14:41
  • Does running git submodule init followed by git submodule update help and installing again help? Also, watch for any errors this time. Commented Aug 5, 2013 at 15:46

The dependencies can be installed like so

pip install pyzmq jinja2 tornado

However, an easier way to install is to

pip install .[notebook] # These brackets are literally there, not optional

As for the weirdness with static files, I've run into this problem when coding against the master branch, as there are git submodules. The current version of pip should be able to resolve these submodules. If yours doesn't, within the ipython directory (after you clone it) run

git submodule init
git submodule update

Now install IPython + IPython notebook

pip install .[notebook]

However, you could just install IPython 1.0's release candidate directly:

pip install http://archive.ipython.org/testing/1.0.0/ipython-1.0.0-rc1.tar.gz#egg=ipython-1.0.0-rc1

Dont know why what you suggested is not in the IPython docs. The installation tutorial really lacks.
@user1945306 - You could always make a pull request against the IPython docs to improve them! I think it will be much easier to install the latest and greatest when IPython 1.0 releases in the next week.

Im writing an answer just to update and be able to write code (is there a better way to do that?) I did the "init,update" steps you suggested, and received the following:

C:\Program Files\Git\bin\ipython>pip install .

Running setup.py egg_info for package from file:///c%7C%5Cprogram%20files%5Cgit%5Cbin%5Cipython

Cleaning up...

So no success.. going to try to install the rc version now.
