Hi all and thanks for helping me out here!

I want to try Jupyter Notebook (IPython) on my elementary OS Freya installation, but to compile some Jupyter dependencies I also need python3-dev which I am not allowed to install by using apt.

  • @Ravan i lost a few days, because i removed python3 completely. I had to do a rollback installing ALL the packages that depend on python3.... now my system has other problems :) but i also did an upgrade and after that i could install jupyter and all the dependencies compiled.

I successfully installed Jupyter using the python package management system PIP.

First install PIP for Python 3 from repositories:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

then install Jupyter by using PIP:

sudo pip3 install jupyter

After Jupyter got successfully installed, you can start it from terminal:

jupyter notebook

Jupyter

  • well i tried that, but i get an error that i need libpython3-dev and python3.4-dev installed on my system so jupyter dependencies can be compiled during the pip install. Commented Oct 18, 2015 at 12:00
  • ah - you're on a german system! :) Commented Oct 18, 2015 at 12:01
  • sudo apt-get install python3.4-dev Einige Pakete konnten nicht installiert werden. Das kann bedeuten, dass Sie eine unmögliche Situation angefordert haben oder, wenn Sie die Unstable-Distribution verwenden, dass einige erforderliche Pakete noch nicht erstellt wurden oder Incoming noch nicht verlassen haben. Die folgenden Informationen helfen Ihnen vielleicht, die Situation zu lösen: Commented Oct 18, 2015 at 12:02

    well, it seems that there is something wrong with your system... try running sudo apt-get -f install to fix the unresolved dependencies.

    While I understand it may be easier for you personally to communicate in German, future users of the site are unlikely to be so inclined. Please try to keep recorded discussion in English.

Open terminal and run the command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev

Note: (Use python instead of python3 for legacy Python 2)

i.e.,

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev

Alternative:

I found a bug here..and solved the problem by forcefully downgrading

  apt-get install -y \
 python3.4=3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1 \
 python3.4-minimal=3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1 \
 libpython3.4-stdlib=3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1 \
 libpython3.4-minimal=3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1

Note: please note the removing packages before removing.

  • did you try that on your machine? i get an error telling me that i cannot install python3-dev because it depends on libpython3-dev (= 3.4.0-0ubuntu2) and python3.4-dev (>= 3.4.0-0~) - two packages that should not be installed and are beeing kept back... i run a german system so the error message is also in german Commented Oct 18, 2015 at 11:49
