Jupyter directories when in virtual environemnt

Question

Where does jupyter store kernelspecs and other data, when running inside a virtual environment?

(I'm interested in conda environments, but knowing about other kinds of virtual envs would be interesting too).

Answer 1

I think I found it.

When inside a virtual environment, one can run

jupyter --paths

and one will see jupyter locations (for the jupyter installed inside the currently active environment).

Something like:

config:
    /home/<user>/.jupyter
    /home/<user>/anaconda3/envs/<this-env>/etc/jupyter
    /usr/local/etc/jupyter
    /etc/jupyter
data:
    /home/<user>/.local/share/jupyter
    /home/<user>/anaconda3/envs/<this-env>/share/jupyter
    /usr/local/share/jupyter
    /usr/share/jupyter
runtime:
    /home/<user>/.local/share/jupyter/runtime

The directory where kernelspecs are would be /home/<user>/anaconda3/envs/<this-env>/share/jupyter/kernels
