good day everyone!

before I post the error, let me quickly give you the background issues behind it. i was using VS code for coding. Planned to switch to jupyter notebook. I downloaded anaconda distributor. the issue now is that the anaconda works fine but none of its contents works. both jupyter and spyder are returninng error. They will only open but i can run any code on them.

jupyter notebook keepys giving kernel error. i have spent about three days on this. updating and downlaoding everything the internet says. the full error message is:

Have you added the anaconda to your Path in Environment Variables?

yes

ehinmowo:



yes

Well search on stackoverflow.

One answer from there that may be helpful, is that you pip install pyqt5.

This is the only answer l have seen specific to your problem.

Thanks. after about fours days of consistent search for solution, I finally found a way around it.

Oh nice, so how did you resolve it?

I uninstalled anaconda and use jupyter notebook directly with command prompt. I run the notebook with py -m notebook rather than usual jupyter notebook

Good evening @OP.. I am just seeing your post, It's great that you've found the solution to this problem.. Welldone.

I will like to share a product i built with you. To allow you document problems and solutions to them, In such a way you can easily share solutions with others. This problem you've encountered and the links to places on the internet you found solution, your opinion and preferred method can be save on Minify and can be easily shared with others.

This is a very good idea. There are currently no active NIGERIA tech community to share important information. However, you need to really push your site so that it can be known. We I am free, I will check it out.

You can start by employing tech article writers to create some nice topics around it. Who knows, they could hit front page here on NL.
