    The cause: The problem that the file or directory is not found can be caused by running pip install "ipython[notebook]". Because it muddles everything.

    Solution: To solve the problem, you should reinstall from PyPi and run like this:

    # For Python 2
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir jupyter
# For Python 3
pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir jupyter

  2. The problem was for me that jupyter notebook became jupyter-notebook upon installation.

    If this doesn’t work try python -m notebook. If it opens, then export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/. Next, refresh your path by opening another terminal and then try jupyter notebook again.

    Finally, if this doesn’t work, you can take a look in vim /usr/local/bin/jupyter-notebook, vim /usr/local/bin/jupyter, and vim /usr/local/bin/jupyter-lab (if JupyterLab is installed) and change the #!python Version at the top to match the version you are using. For example, I installed Python 3.8.2 onto my mac. However, those files still had the path for the 3.6 version so I changed it to #!/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3
