I installed ipython notebook using their instructions. That didn't work. So i tried other instructions. I seemed to get closer to getting it working. currently this is the output i get when i try to run ipnotebook.

    Traceback (most recent call last):

  • the error just says you have not installed `jinja2`; do `apt-cache search jinja` and install the package – behzad.nouri Dec 16 '13 at 20:13
  • Wow, i feel stupid. When i read that i figured that came with the ipython install. Thank you so much. it worked. – dr3311 Dec 16 '13 at 20:17
  • While this probably is a duplicate, the question that this is a duplicate of does not include Eric's answer about installing using your package manager (which actually pointed me to fixing this on a non-Ubuntu linux by same method). I'll add a comment there too. – mike Aug 21 '14 at 12:40

In order to load Jinja locally you also have to have it installed locally

easy_install Jinja2

or 

pip install Jinja2

or

sudo apt-get install python-jinja2
