Switch Jupyter Notebooks to cloned python environment

AmosBennett1 — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 03:39:05 GMT

I've cloned my environment in ArcGIS Pro setting and installed a bunch of stuff. When I open up Jupyter Notebooks, it still reverts back to the root environment.

Anyone know how to switch it for use in notebooks?

Some references on the web... the desktop shortcut route works

3. Running the Jupyter Notebook — Jupyter/IPython Notebook Quick Start Guide 0.1 documentation

but watch the time that the suggestions were made... the 'correct' approach is a moving solution

If you have clones, make sure you have the proper environment activated.

Jupyter Lab is an option as well

shortcuts creation for Pro... not specific to notebook

The easiest way to start Jupyter Notebook with your desired environment and from your desired startup location is to:

Open the Python Command Prompt from the Start menu, the active environment in ArcGIS Pro will be the active environment.
If you want to change to a different python environment enter: activate <env-name>
If you want to change to a different starting directory enter: cd <dir>
Launch Jupyter Notebook by entering: jupyter notebook

You can list the python environments available to switch to with: conda env list

See the screenshot below:

Thanks Kimberley, this worked for me. I also had to install ipykernal in the new environment but now it's working.
