Jupyter Notebook only has Python [conda root] and Python [default] kernels

Question

I followed all the steps outlined in the other Python [root] posts, but still cannot get the python2 and python3 kernels to show up.

Here is what my Jupyter notebook shows:

and here is the startup log:

I have Anaconda3 installed (the 3.5 version).

How do I get the python2 and python3 kernels to show up?

github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/1630 - the other posts I was referring to. I don't have a high enough reputation to post more than two links in a post. — giantsrock28

Yes, it's an anaconda thing. I think if you directly install jupiter using pip, you should see the python2 and python3 kernels. Guess this is more of a work around and not a solution, but it might solve your problem. — Raunaq Kochar

I have the similar situation as yours and I solved it through:

Switch to the conda env you wanna show in Jupyter notebook

>>> source activate conda_env_name

Install/reinstall Jupyter under this env using:

(conda_env_name)>>> conda install jupyter

You should be able to see your env under Jypyter Kernel->Change kernels lists (this is my first stackoverflow answer, hope it helps you)

I had a similar issue but i had python 2.7.12 installed from anaconda and the default one came with Mac is 2.7.10.

When i open jupiter notebook, i used to get Python[conda root] and Python[default], after lot of struggling i did the following

conda update conda

conda uninstall ipython

conda install jupyter

now i see only 'Python 2' in my Jupiter notebook

hope this helps

I was stucked like you, and the solution is easy: For more information: https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/jupyter-notebook-extensions#notebook-conda

In the HOME of jupiter Notebook you will find: Files, Running, Clusters and Conda Select Conda Then there is a space for the conda environments, there is a sign +, clic on it to add a new environment, here you can select conda 2 or 3, depends on you, and give a name, it could be the same name Conda 3. After that you refresh environment list, and then close jupyter notebook. Finally, open it again, and it should works.
