[SOLVED] Python virtual environment created not coming in Jupyter-notebook

Issue

I am creating virtual environments in Python using virtualenv, with the command virtualenv env_name and activating in the Linux terminal using source env_name/bin/activate.

But the virtual environment I created is not automatically visible in the jupyter notebook kernels. What should I do to make these environments access through Jupyter notebook?

Solution

The answer is quite trivial only. We just need to add one more line in command for adding the kernel into the python. Say, I'm creating a new environment av

creating environment

virtualenv av

adding the kernel to ipython

python3 -m ipykernel install --user --name=av

This will give an output

Installed kernelspec av in /Users/sreekiran/Library/Jupyter/kernels/av

And voila!

I got the solution thanks to this blog.
