Fix: python3: Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3: No module named notebook (jupyter)

If you are trying to run a notebook in Terminal and you get an error "No module named notebook", you are missing the jupyter module.

% python3 -m notebook

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/python3: No module named notebook

Fix: No module named notebook error

• Open Terminal (or Command Line)
• Run the following command to install to install jupyter

  pip3 install jupyter

• Now you should be able to run the notebook

Do check which pip3 and python3 binaries are in use, it could be that there is a mismatch

% which pip3
/opt/homebrew/bin/pip3

 % which python3
/usr/bin/python3

As you may see using the which command, we have pip3 from homebrew package and python3 form usr/bin.

Make sure to install jupyter package using brew command.

brew install jupyter

Setting an alias in .zshrc or .bashprofile would help to fix this issue.

alias python3.10="/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.10"

% python3 -m notebook
