Create a python virtual environment using either
pipenv
orvirtualenv
-
Open up
cmd.exe
, activate the virtual environment and issue the following to commandspipenv install jupyter
pipenv install ipykernel
-
To create the custom
ipython
kernel, issue the following commandspython -m ipykernel install --user --name other-env --display-name "whatever name you want to give the kernel"
python -m ipykernel install --user --display-name "whatever name you want to give the kernel"
-
The
--name other-env
argument, value pair is optional. See here for explanation -
Now when you reload your
ipython/jupyter
notebooks you should see the newly created kernel listed under kernels. You can see some kernels I've created in the screenshot below.

Hey man.
You simply activate the said environment on your command line and use
pip install <package-name>
(if you created the environment withvirtualenv
orpipenv
you dopipenv install <package-name>
(if you created it withpipenv
).The package should now be available for import inside your notebook.
