How to uninstall python jupyter correctly?
Solution 1
The answer over here solved my problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42277762/8057434
I'll just summarize what to do. Run
conda uninstall notebook nbconvert nbformat ipykernel ipywidgets qtconsole traitlets tornado jupyter_* ipython_genutils jinja2 -y
in your terminal.
You can use pip uninstall
instead of conda uninstall
if you aren't using anaconda.
Solution 2
From your home
folder, delete ~/AnacondaProjects
. After that remove the export
of Anaconda environment variable
from your bash profile ~/.bashrc
.
Solution 3
Use pip3 instead of pip
pip3 uninstall jupyter
You can install for both python 2 and python 3 on the same computer as long as you use the correct pip version

I have
jupyter
installed withpython3.5
on my Mac OSX, but I want thepython2.7
version. So, I basically need to uninstall the3.5
version, and reinstall the2.7
version.But for some reason I can't uninstall the 3.5 version. I tried
sudo python3 -m pip uninstall jupyter
, and you can see the results below:✔ ~/current/directory 20:08 $ which jupyter /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/jupyter ✔ ~/current/directory 20:08 $ sudo python3 -m pip uninstall jupyter The directory '/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag. Cannot uninstall requirement jupyter, not installed The directory '/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag. You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 8.1.2 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command. ✘-1 ~/current/directory 20:09 $ which jupyter /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/jupyter
...as you can see above, the
which jupyter
command still returns a valid path, AND not only that. I'm still able to launchjupyter notebook
from the command line, and it opens a notebook.How do I correctly get rid of my existing version of
jupyter
? OR, if someone knows how to ADD apython2
kernel to my existingjupyter
, that would be fine too. Is that possible?All I can think of is to manually kill the files and subfolders inside of
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/
, but this seems unnecessarily brutal?
