Rise: Installation (5.4.1) fail on jupyter-nbextension

[MikeBirdsall]

I'm getting an error on the Jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix command. The error is:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/jupyter'

That directory doesn't exist. I do have the directory '/usr/local/share/jupyter'

The full traceback (username redacted) is:

I used pip to install, the full command was:
python3 -m pip install --user RISE

I have a similar problem, where the installation fails due to a ModuleNotFoundError.
Here is the full error trace:

I am running Python 3.5.2, Jupyter 4.4.0, Jupyter Notebook 5.7.0 on Windows 10.

If I try to import rise from a Python prompt, I obtain the following result:
```>>> import rise
Could not figure out RISE version - using 0.0.0 (package.json not found)

rise.__version__
'0.0.0'

```
Could you give me some pointers on how to solve this issue?

[damianavila]

mmm... did you both install from pip? Or it is a development installation?
Wondering if it is related to this: https://github.com/damianavila/RISE/issues/409

[jdestefani]

Indeed, no development installation.
I installed from pip (version 18.0) using python -m pip install RISE.

[damianavila]

OK, I will try to reproduce as soon as I can. Thanks for the additional info.

[MikeBirdsall]

Yes, I installed from pip, using python3 -m pip install --user RISE.

I wonder if it has to do with how jupyter is installed. I don't have the directory /usr/share/jupyter, but I do have /usr/local/share/jupyter

[MikeBirdsall]

Sorry, didn't mean to close

[coltongrainger]

I'm seeing the same ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rise' after jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix

Installations I've tried that produce this error:

• pip install RISE
• the dev installation

I also tried

• python3 -m pip install --user RISE

in which case I see PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/jupyter' after jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix.

Best,
-Colton

[coltongrainger]

The following commands installed for me from the RISE directory after cloning from git

sudo python3 setup.py install
sudo jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix
sudo jupyter nbextension enable rise --py --sys-prefix
