The iracket install command needs to run the jupyter.exe command to find the directory where Jupyter kernels are stored. So you need to find where pip installed jupyter.exe and then add the directory containing jupyter.exe to your PATH, or you need to run the iracket install script with raco iracket install --jupypter-exe path-to-jupyter.exe.

  • it show me this `C:\Users\lenovo>raco iracket install --jupyter-exe path-to-jupyter.exe Received non-zero exit code from jupyter command.`, and i already put in the path where is located the jupyter.exe – JesusDD Apr 13 '20 at 21:14
  • What happens if you run `path-to-jupyter.exe --data-dir` on the command line? – Ryan Culpepper Apr 14 '20 at 08:46
  • it said `"path-to-jupyter.exe" is not recognized as an internal or external command, program or executable batch file.` – JesusDD Apr 14 '20 at 16:24

    Sorry, I meant replace "path-to-jupyter.exe" with the full path to the `jupyter.exe` executable. You need to find that first (I have no idea where pip installs things), and then tell `raco iracket install` about it using the `--jupyter-exe` option. – Ryan Culpepper Apr 14 '20 at 18:28
  • if it already worked, I had already tried but without putting the jupyter.exe in the address, although I had already put it in the path with the jupyter.exe – JesusDD Apr 14 '20 at 19:00
