[python] How to uninstall jupyter

I have been trying to uninstall jupyter

I have tried the following commands

pip uninstall jupyter
pip3 uninstall jupyter

and

rm -rf /Users/$user/Library/Jupyter/*

Even after running all these commands when I type jupyter in the terminal I get the following message

usage: jupyter [-h] [--version] [--config-dir] [--data-dir] [--runtime-dir]
               [--paths] [--json]
               [subcommand]
jupyter: error: one of the arguments --version subcommand --config-dir --data-dir --runtime-dir --paths is required

What exactly is going wrong and why am I still able to use the command?

If you are using jupyter notebook, You can remove it like this:

pip uninstall notebook

You should use conda uninstall if you installed it with conda.

Try pip uninstall jupyter_core. Details below:

I ran into a similar issue when my jupyter notebook only showed Python 2 notebook. (no Python 3 notebook)

I tried to uninstall jupyter by pip unistall jupyter, pi3 uninstall jupyter, and the suggested pip-autoremove jupyter -y.

Nothing worked. I ran which jupyter, and got /home/ankit/.local/bin/jupyter

The file /home/ankit/.local/bin/jupyter was just a simple python code:

#!/usr/bin/python3

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys

from jupyter_core.command import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(main())

Tried to uninstall the module jupyter_core by pip uninstall jupyter_core and it worked.

Reinstalled jupyter with pip3 install jupyter and everything was back to normal.

In pip3

pip3 uninstall jupyterlab

For Mac OS, you may use the below command in order to remove files manually.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/jupyter

For python 3.7:

1. On windows command prompt, type: "py -m pip install pip-autoremove". You will get a successful message.

2. Change directory, if you didn't add the following as your PATH: cd C:\Users{user_name}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts To know where your package/application has been installed/located, type: "where program_name" like> where jupyter If you didn't find a location, you need to add the location in PATH.

3. Type: pip-autoremove jupyter It will ask to type y/n to confirm the action.

If you don't want to use pip-autoremove (since it removes dependencies shared among other packages) and pip3 uninstall jupyter just removed some packages, then do the following:

Copy-Paste:

sudo may be needed as per your need.

python3 -m pip uninstall -y jupyter jupyter_core jupyter-client jupyter-console jupyterlab_pygments notebook qtconsole nbconvert nbformat

Note:

The above command will only uninstall jupyter specific packages. I have not added other packages to uninstall since they might be shared among other packages (eg: Jinja2 is used by Flask, ipython is a separate set of packages themselves, tornado again might be used by others).

In any case, all the dependencies are mentioned below(as of 21 Nov, 2020. jupyter==4.4.0 )

If you are sure you want to remove all the dependencies, then you can use Stan_MD's answer.

When you $ pip install jupyter several dependencies are installed. The best way to uninstall it completely is by running:

1. $ pip install pip-autoremove
2. $ pip-autoremove jupyter -y

Kindly refer to this related question.

pip-autoremove removes a package and its unused dependencies. Here are the docs.

If you installed Jupiter notebook through anaconda, this may help you:

conda uninstall jupyter notebook

In my case, I have installed it via pip3 on mac.

pip3 uninstall notebook
