Notebook: Error: Unable to create process

Created on 5 Jun 2019  路  8Comments  路  Source: jupyter/notebook

I get the following error when trying to open jupyter notebook using Anaconda prompt:

Unable to create process using 'C:\Users\valspirehooha\Anaconda3\envs\tensorflow_cpu\python.exe "C:\Users\valspirehooha\Anaconda3\envs\tensorflow_cpu\Scripts\jupyter-script.py" notebook'

Can anybody help?

My advice for you is to rebuild your environment by following the steps below:

1. Activate your environment

Open your terminal, and activate your environment with conda activate...
2. Remove the existing environment
After the environment is activated, do conda uninstall scikit-learn python and type y where necessary. The command will remove sk-learn, jupyter, pandas etc.
3. Rebuild your environment
Once those packages have been successfully removed, rebuild your environment by typing conda install python=3.6.9 jupyter pandas matplotlib scikit-learn=0.22 numpy. Enter y where necessary. Wait for couple of minutes and your environment should be ready.
After that enter Jupyter notebook and jupyter notebook should be up and running.

If you have any question, I will be glad to answer them. Good luck.馃憤馃従

Try opening it from the base environment... worked for me as far as i remember.

Same.

Strange, it was working just fine today, then suddenly around 16:40, it stopped auto-updating and everything crashed; kernelerrors and I couldn't open jupyter notebook from my created env anymore.
Works fine when I try opening it from base, but then I can't import mxnet, a special module which needs its own d2l environment.
