I’m running Jupyter (installed via pamac install jupyter-notebook
) in my browser; I need the functionalities of ipywidgets to manipulate matplotlib plots.
I tried following several guides (including this post and this page), but I can’t find a way to get it working.
I tried installing the python-ipywidget
package, using pip
to install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
, and even installing the AUR’s jupyter-nbextension-rise
, but everytime I can’t find a way to enable it in Jupyter. All guides suggest something like jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
, but I get the error:
Jupyter command `jupyter-contrib` not found.
So I change “jupyter” to “jupyter lab” or “jupyter notebook”, and then I get:
jupyter-lab: error: argument --user: expected one argument
… so I remove the “–user” argument, and then get:
[C 2025-03-24 18:57:47.111 ServerApp] No such file or directory: /home/tome/.ipython/profile_default/contrib
… at which point I’m out of ideas…
