Python + JupyterLab Installation & Path Set Guide (Windows)

[@EdgarSanchez-bl3xb]

For all those coming to learn just now (like me), when he's entering the paths in the environment (minute mark 3:05), he enters \Python39 because he downloaded Python version 3.9; so instead of typing \Python39 like he did, if you downloaded a different version number, replace it with the 9. For example, I downloaded Python 3.11, so I have to type \Python311

[@AlexanderDomino]

It doesn't matter what you put since it is just a file path, so yes you can put 311 or 39 it wouldn't make a difference.

[@im-Anarchy]

wrong

[@deanthoni10]

why didnt he say that. so dumb

[@jacob1851]

Awesome, I needed Jupyter Lab to do a beginner course on python programming and this helped me install it with 0 prior experience. Appreciate it man

[@placeholder4107]

this 5 minute tutorial explained things better than a lot of 30-minute ones, thank you!

[@sojourner1973]

Thank you so much for putting this together Patrick ! I really appreciate you for sharing this with everyone.

[@abaurre3]

Hot damn, an almost 6 minutes video where you teach how to properly install it AND resolve the PATH problem! Take my upvote!

[@gmnahin]

I was fed-up with that issue whenever I tried to install jupyter on windows 11. Thanks for helping me solve that issue.

[@HEDCHEF_DJ]

The path aspect is awesome and I haven't seen a lot of other tutorials mention that

[@itsjos3ph]

Awesome video, works even now in 2025. As previously mentioned in the comments, make sure to change the python version in the control panel when adding a new path.

[@utube_snakeu553]

damn, thanks a lot! I was having the same issue and was searching for a video explaining this one. Bless You!

[@loko5307]

Short video and straight to the point. Thanks!

[@HerrThaner1997]

Got this after doing everything in the video 3:30 ... Installed it with the new version 3.10
usage: jupyter [-h] [--version] [--config-dir] [--data-dir] [--runtime-dir] [--paths] [--json] [--debug] [subcommand]
Jupyter: Interactive Computing
positional arguments:
subcommand the subcommand to launch
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show the versions of core jupyter packages and exit
--config-dir show Jupyter config dir
--data-dir show Jupyter data dir
--runtime-dir show Jupyter runtime dir
--paths show all Jupyter paths. Add --json for machine-readable format.
--json output paths as machine-readable json
--debug output debug information about paths
Available subcommands: kernel kernelspec migrate run troubleshoot trust
Jupyter command `jupyter-lab` not found.
Any help ?

[@EdgarSanchez-bl3xb]

When he typed \Python39 its because he downloaded version 3.9 , so if you downloaded Python version 3.11 (liked i did), replace \Python39 with \Python311

[@debjit8449]

@@EdgarSanchez-bl3xb did that...but its still showing...what else to do

[@Nextor308]

on my case I also received an error message when installing, so if I try to run jupyter lab after, I got that same result, the error line I got was because packages not able to install, so I get something like this : Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
the solution was that I ended up changing registry for long paths from 0 to 1 and that made it work, so go to registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem@LongPathEnabled to 1
Then I ran pip install jupyterlab --user it finished without errors or warnings this time and then I ran jupyter lab and it worked exactly as described on this video.

[@niroopmohan4502]

I got same issue, but resolved after correcting the path in control panel.
First check the path you copied from cmd
In my case it was c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\appdata\ROAMING\python310
instead of appdata\LOCAL\programs\python310 as he explains in the video.
Just correct this in the new path environment variables and it should work.

[@roundhouse2616]

I had the same issue, ran 'pip install jupyterlab' again and it started working 🤷‍♂

[@rohanbangash5827]

This is the only video that helped me, thank you so much

[@chauduong7690]

Thank your very much for posting this video. I encountered the same problem in the video, and I have successfully installed JupyterLab by following your instructions.

[@TheSnoClan]

This was very helpful thanks for the tutorial!

[@Meerkat_33]

I did pip install jupyter lab and notebook but this video did NOT work, can you help please? I don't see a python folder in my local\programs\ folder but I am able to use python in my CMD prompt

[@harshitnegi7859]

Error: could not find a version that satisfies the requirement jupyter (from versions: none)
Error: no matching distribution found for jupyter

[@QuantApplicantMattKulis]

2023 Users READ THIS: For anyone reading this comment JL worked simply after Copy & pasting any of those paths spat out in the like 10 error messages, and then: edit the system environ> Adv Envonroment Variables> User Path>Click*, Click Edit*, New>Ctrl+V... literally done... load a new refreshed cmd terminal & type jupyter lab & watch it spin up... Great tutorial Patrick thanks boss

[@jana365]

Thanks a lot. Copy/Pasting the link solved the issue. I would like your video 100x if I could.

[@kisho2679]

Great. How installing with JupyterLab Desktop IDE instead of the browserbased one?

[@loganfairbairn4605]

[@AustinArnold-w8y]

[@PrashantDas-m1w]

[@jeffzxy]

Question is, why Jupyterlab doesn't load first time? Do I have to copy the link everytime?

I got this error, how to fix it pls? WARNING: Failed to write executable - trying to use .deleteme logic
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'c:\\python39\\Scripts\\jupyter-trust.exe' -> 'c:\\python39\\Scripts\\jupyter-trust.exe.deleteme'

[@EdgarSanchez-bl3xb]

When he typed \Python39 its because he downloaded version 3.9 , so if you downloaded Python version 3.11 (liked i did), replace \Python39 with \Python311

"jupyter lab" is to install it on linux
"jupyterlab" to install it on windows 🤷‍♂

[@coco-td2rz]

i love you

[@xdang0075]

UPDATE 05.23: your path doesent work for me. I could fixed that with these path:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\Scripts
For everyone who have the same problem
