'Jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I installed python and jupyter notebook through the Anaconda distribution. I have been successfully using jupyter notebook for weeks and it has run perfectly fine. However, I can only launch a notebook through the Anaconda Navigator GUI.

When I try to run the command (in command prompt) to start a notebook it says

'jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command

This is also the same case with Python

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I am using Windows 10. I am assuming its a PATH issue but I have not had any luck with the solutions I found from other posts. I am relatively new to programming and python so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, This is the problem which I faced also during the installation of Jupyter Notebook. But I know the solution of this. I hope, it also works for you as well.

  1. Open cmd.
  2. Type: pip install notebook.
  3. If you Type: **jupyter notebook** - it always shows an error.
  4. So, Type: python -m notebook.

I've just fixed this issue on my windows 10 machine. My path contained

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\

where 'user' is my windows username, however for some reason jupyter.exe installed in

 C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts

I'm not really sure why and I'd like to get to the bottom of it, but adding both the local and roaming version to my path fixed this.

Run conda install ipykernel in that environment and then type jupyter notebook, it will lead to jupyter notebook window.

The issue 'jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command is mainly due to no path or wrong path of jupyter in windows environment variables.

In my case related files were available in C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts and so i have added this path in Windows as shown below and then you can run from any path:

One important thing: after that while running jupter notebook from any location may give DLL Error. You have to first give command activate base and then jupyter notebook. Enjoy working now.

try typing

> conda install jupyter

inside your environment and then try to open jupyter notebook again.

You are suppoused to check in the two check boxes which are present at the beginning of installation.If you uninstall and reinstall it again it works fine

Here is a supplementary suggestion with respect to @Subhasish Paul 's Answer:

When creating a new path to the user variable (if you chose the option "install for all users" you may need to create a system variable), also include another path of "bin" in your environment variables, simply entering where conda in Anaconda Prompt to look for it. For me it's C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin .

Adding this extra path in your environment variables will eliminate DLL Error, hence you don't have to activate conda each time when you want to open jupyter notebook. It works for me very well.
