No module named ipykernel_launcher

I just install the notebook on my Python 3.8.5 by "pip install notebook" however when I want to run code it always says " connection failed"

Here is my information on CMD D:>jupyter notebook [I 18:50:10.057 NotebookApp] The port 8888 is already in use, trying another port.

@Jayfeath3r Same problem, while have been trying to do in software application under pyinstaller too.

[kevin-bates]

Please locate the kernel.json file associated with the kernel you're trying to start by running jupyter kernelspec list and locating the kernel spec's directory. It strikes me as odd that you have python.exe at the root of your drive and perhaps it doesn't have the necessary information to locate other python modules like ipykernel_launcher. Once the kernel.json has been located, focus on the argv stanza.

This section of the docs may provide some additional tips.

@kevin-bates Yes, but there is a problem. Does Jupyter Notebook works perfectly -even converted to software- after the application is built to .exe under Pyinstaller? Maybe, waste time. Please help explain this situation. This issue #3246 was left unresolved.

I have just discovered the same issue while associating ipykernel with python 3.8. When I downgraded to Python 3.7, the issue was resolved. kernel.json was identical in both the 3.7 and 3.8 environments.

[kevin-bates]

This sounds like ipykernel (which provides ipykernel_launcher) wasn't properly installed. Try uninstalling/installing ipykernel in your 3.8 env.
