Python3 kernel not available? #3

Open jvreelan opened 9 years ago

jvreelan commented 9 years ago

I get this message when I try to do the cell->run all: The 'python3' kernel is not available. Please pick another suitable kernel instead, or install that kernel.

Also the initial activate command returned the message: Usage: activate envname and did not seem to work.

waterbug commented 9 years ago

What do you get if you type:

 python --version

in a Windows console (terminal)?

The procedure you are describing is exactly what I have done about half a dozen times.

I think my problem is that I installed Python 3.4 first and then uninstalled it. Not it seems to be still defaulting to the Python3 kernel for some reason even though I uninstalled it.

Ah, ok. I've never done that, and I'm not sure that you can "uninstall" the python from the root directory of an Anaconda installation (or anyway I don't know how). You could use "conda" to create more environments with different versions of python in them, but that's different from uninstalling the python from the "root" anaconda environment.

I would suggest starting over. Remove the entire Anaconda installation, which just means removing the directory where it is installed. Then download a new Anaconda that has python 2.7.

Oh, I didn't know about that! I'm not on Windows myself (Linux), and I'm not familiar with how Anaconda looks on Windows so I'm kind of handicapped in helping you.

But my other comment still applies -- I'd recommend starting over with a fresh Anaconda download, for python 2.7.

Oh, I didn't know about that! I'm not on Windows myself (Linux), and I'm not familiar with how Anaconda looks on Windows so I'm kind of handicapped in helping you.

But my other comment still applies -- I'd recommend starting over with a fresh Anaconda download, for python 2.7.

Hmm ... not sure what you mean by "the anaconda window" -- is that another terminal window or Spyder, or something else?

Anyway, to run the installation test notebook, it's best if you bring up a new Windows console (terminal) window, then:

  • cd to the directory where you downloaded the test notebook (BootCampTestInstall.ipynb)
  • run the command:

ipython notebook

  • that should start up the ipython server and open a new browser window.
  • in the browser window there should be a link for BootCampTestInstall.ipynb -- click on that ...
  • that should open a new tab with the installation test notebook. In that window, click the "Cell" menu item at the top and select the "Run All" option.
  • let me know what the message is at the bottom of the notebook page when it finishes running.

What do you get if you type:

python --version

in a Windows console (terminal)?

I get this message when I try to do the cell->run all: The 'python3' kernel is not available. Please pick another suitable kernel instead, or install that kernel.

Also the initial activate command returned the message: Usage: activate envname and did not seem to work.
