I installed python and jupyter notebook through the Anaconda distribution. I have been successfully using jupyter notebook for weeks and it has run perfectly fine. However, I can only launch a notebook through the Anaconda Navigator GUI.
When I try to run the command (in command prompt) to start a notebook it says
'jupyter' is not recognized as an internal or external command
This is also the same case with Python
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command
I am using Windows 10. I am assuming its a PATH issue but I have not had any luck with the solutions I found from other posts. I am relatively new to programming and python so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, This is the problem which I faced also during the installation of Jupyter Notebook.
But I know the solution of this. I hope, it also works for you as well.
- Open cmd.
- Type:
pip install notebook. - If you Type:
**jupyter notebook**– it always shows an error. - So, Type:
python -m notebook.

I’ve just fixed this issue on my windows 10 machine. My path contained
C:UsersuserAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37Scripts
where ‘user’ is my windows username, however for some reason jupyter.exe installed in
C:UsersuserAppDataRoamingPythonPython37Scripts
I’m not really sure why and I’d like to get to the bottom of it, but adding both the local and roaming version to my path fixed this.

Run conda install ipykernel in that environment and then type jupyter notebook, it will lead to jupyter notebook window.
The issue ‘jupyter’ is not recognized as an internal or external command is mainly due to no path or wrong path of jupyter in windows environment variables.
In my case related files were available in C:ProgramDataAnaconda3Scripts and so i have added this path in Windows as shown below and then you can run from any path:
One important thing: after that while running jupter notebook from any location may give DLL Error. You have to first give command activate base and then jupyter notebook. Enjoy working now.

Just had a similar problem tried it in cmd as well as Powershell, checked other suggestions too. However, the command isn’t jupyter notebook it is :
jupyter-notebook
try typing
> conda install jupyter
inside your environment and then try to open jupyter notebook again.
If you are facing the issue with the error as below when trying to launch jupyter notebook:
jupyter : The term ‘jupyter’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Try using below command in TERMINAL:
python -m notebook

You are suppoused to check in the two check boxes which are present at the beginning of installation.If you uninstall and reinstall it again it works fine

I recently faced this problem and overcame it by below following the command.
If you installed Jupyter Notebook through Commandline or Anaconda.
for Windows 10
First check how your Python is running in command using
Using this command
C:Usersadmin>py
or this command
C:Usersadmin>Python
Most probably your Python starts with the py command.
Now type the below command to run Jypyter
C:Usersadmin>py -m jupyter notebook
or try
C:Usersadmin>python -m jupyter notebook
It’ll start jupyter notebook on the browser.
Make sure to add the complete name jupyter notebook. It’s working with Windows 10
I hope it helps.
Here is a supplementary suggestion with respect to @Subhasish Paul ‘s Answer:
When creating a new path to the user variable (if you chose the option “install for all users” you may need to create a system variable), also include another path of “bin” in your environment variables, simply entering where conda in Anaconda Prompt to look for it. For me it’s C:ProgramDataAnaconda3Librarybin .
Adding this extra path in your environment variables will eliminate DLL Error, hence you don’t have to activate conda each time when you want to open jupyter notebook. It works for me very well.
Anybody looking to run Jupyter from command line or want to see the token for running Jupyter server (if he/was logged out from running notebook), you run the target command from Jupyter Notebook shortcut ..
I was also getting:
‘jupyter’ is not recognized as an internal or external
command,operable program or batch file.
This worked for me on Windows 11
Install Python
Install conda
conda install jupyter
conda run jupyter notebook
1
just run your cmd (or PyCharm, or PowerShell etc.) as Administrator
Python -m notebook
Use this command
