Mac: How to quit Jupyter Notebook from Terminal


When you start Jupyter Notebook from the Mac Terminal, it opens up the notebook on your default web browser.

If you are wondering how to quit Jupyter Notebook gracefully and properly, follow the below steps,

  1. Close or Logout the Jupyter Notebook webpage that's running on the localhost:8888 URL.
  2. Now go to the Terminal Window where you ran the command to run the notebook.
  3. Press the keys Control + C, you will be asked "Shutdown this notebook server (y/[n])?", type y and enter.
  4. You would see some console logs like below and should return back to your zsh prompt.
