How to make jupyter start in current directory by default (in cmd.exe)?












0















In Windows 10 cmd.exe I can start jupyter in a current directory by following command:



jupyter notebook --notebook-dir="."


The current directory is C:UsersЕвгенийDocumentsGitHubsandbox



However, when I start simply jupyter notebook in a current directory above my working directory for jupyter is D:/git:



λ cd
C:UsersЕвгенийDocumentsGitHubsandbox
λ jupyter notebook
[I 14:46:44.273 NotebookApp] The port 8888 is already in use, trying another port.
[I 14:46:44.304 NotebookApp] JupyterLab beta preview extension loaded from D:Anaconda3libsite-packagesjupyterlab
[I 14:46:44.304 NotebookApp] JupyterLab application directory is D:Anaconda3sharejupyterlab
[I 14:46:44.571 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: D:/git


Note the last line Serving notebooks from local directory: D:/git. Where is D:/git may be coming from? Are there environment variables other than these affecting working directory choice?




  • My %USERPROFILE%/.jupyter is totally empty.


  • jupyter --config-dir directs to C:UsersЕвгений.jupyter, it is %USERPROFILE%/.jupyter.


I read various threads about jupyter invoke, in particular:





  • this large thread suggests jupyter notebook will behave differently in cmd.exe and Anaconda prompt, without further details though


  • Problems with configuring Jupyter start directory addresses an issue with Windows shortcut, similar to this Windows app start steps


  • this post proposes wrapping --notebook-dir="." key into a .bat file


My other thought is that %USERPROFILE% with non-Latin character is not be recongnisable by jupyter, but %USERPROFILE%/.jupyter is empty anyways.

          You must generate the configuration of Jupyter.



          jupyter notebook --generate-config


          Navigate to your folder and the folder .jupyter (C:Users%username%.jupyter)

          You will find a file called jupyter_notebook_config.py

          Edit it with notepad++ for exemple and locate c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir


          Between ' ' put the path you want. For exemple :



          c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'C:/Users/Евгений/Documents/GitHub/sandbox'


          Save it and start Jupyter without specifying a path
          Be careful, the characters in your username may be a problem.


          Keep me informed.

          • Thanks for the answer, I'm aware of the notebook --generate-config option. My specific question is where does jupyter store D:git in absence of configuration file. Another internal config file?

          • If we don't generate a configuration, I don't think Jupyter stores another configuration file. I just know that you can switch configuration files with jupyter -f /path/to/configFile.py. I advise you to use Jupyterlab. For me, the configuration with Jupyterlab works well.

          Use the jupyter notebook config file:



          Open cmd (or Anaconda Prompt) and run jupyter notebook --generate-config.



          This writes a file to C:Usersusername.jupyterjupyter_notebook_config.py.



          Browse to the file location and open it in an Editor



          Search for the following line in the file: #c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = ''



          Replace by c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'D:/git'



          Make sure you use forward slashes in your path



          Remove the # at the beginning of the line to allow the line to execute
