Jupyter is installed by default inside the base conda environment, but if you want to use inside your new conda virtual environment you have to install on it.
To install jupyter inside conda you have to:
- activate your conda venv
- launch
conda install jupyter - run jupyter typing
jupyter notebook
Everytime you want to launch Jupyter notebook with your custom conda virtual environment you have to:

If you want to close jupyter
- save your work

You can set the default Jupyter home main folder with this simple guide
Use the jupyter notebook config file:
After you have installed Anaconda..
- Open cmd (or Anaconda Prompt) and run jupyter notebook --generate-config.
- This writes a file to C:\Users\username.jupyter\jupyter_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 = '/the/path/to/home/folder/'
- Make sure you use forward slashes in your path and use /home/user/ instead of ~/ for your home directory, backslashes could be used if placed in double quotes even if folder name contains spaces as such : "D:\yourUserName\Any Folder\More Folders"
- Remove the # at the beginning of the line to allow the line to execute
