Open Jupyter Notebook from a Drive Other than C Drive

PythonJupyter Notebook

Python Problem Overview


I have a machine learning project in drive D. It contains python notebook files. But when I launch jupyter notebook through command prompt, it only shows directories inside drive C. How can I navigate to a drive other than C drive without changing jupyter notebook startup path?. I'm using windows 10 operating system. All the solutions I found, trying to change notebook startup path.

Python Solutions


Solution 1 - Python

You can launch it from any drive/location you want with the --notebook-dir option.

For example:

jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:/

Solution 2 - Python

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Anaconda Prompt
  2. Insert this command, jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=NameOfTheDrive:.

As Example for Drive D, jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:

Solution 3 - Python

To permanently change the default directory of Jupyter do the following:

  • Look for the Shortcut to open Jupyter notebook.
  • Right Click on the Shortcut
  • Go to Properties.
  • Look for ....jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/"
  • Change %USERPROFILE%/ to the folder you wish.
  • Restart Jupyter notebook.

Solution 4 - Python

Open the Anaconda Prompt

type the following:

jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:\

This is what worked for me in windows.

Solution 5 - Python

Another good option is from your terminal go to the disk you want to start jupyter by example :

cd D:

And then launch jupyter notebook

jupyter notebook

Solution 6 - Python

Okay, this question seems to have already been addresses, but I'd like to add quick step launch solution for this case. I created a batch file (windows .bat file) with the following script and saved it on my desktop. I just double click it to launch the files in the respective drive.

@echo ON
title Launch Jupyter notebooks from Drive D
jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:
@echo OFF

Copy paste this code in a text file and save it as a *.bat file on your Desktop. Just fire it up every time you want to launch Jupyter.

You can create various versions of this file for each drive as required and keep them handy.

Solution 7 - Python

If you are using JupyterLab, just type in your desired terminal;

jupyter lab --notebook-dir=D:/

It will create a new port to access D: drive in JupyterLab

Solution 8 - Python

My solution is to create a batch file which allows me to execute jupyter at the current directory.

  1. Create a batch file jupy.bat with the following content:
   jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=%1
  1. Save the jupy.bat in some folder, let say in d:\scripts
  2. Append d:\scripts in PATH environment variable. So that i can call jupy just everywhere.
  3. From now on, i can go to the folder where i store my notebooks, and execute the command:
    jupy .

Solution 9 - Python

  1. Open Jupyter notebook as usual

  2. Click on New\Terminal

  3. Type the code below in terminal, where you want to point to F drive

    jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=F:/
    
  4. Jupter notebook new session url will open in your default internet explorer

Solution 10 - Python

you can directly access by following command:

jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=D:/

Alternate method is go to Anaconda Prompt or Anaconda Termial then Access D drive and launch the jupyter notebook

D:
jupyter notebook

Solution 11 - Python

*To change just one time : user following code in your Anaconda prompt . jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=E:

*To permanently change the default directory of Jupyter do the following: Right click on Jupyter notebook icon. Go to Properties. In shortcut tab->target you will find something like this -> jupyter-notebook-script.py "%USERPROFILE%/" Change %USERPROFILE%/ to the folder you want to start from eg : jupyter-notebook-script.py "E:\folder_path". Restart Jupyter notebook.

Solution 12 - Python

My repositories are in the drive R.

I am running Jupyter on Windows 10 in the Ubuntu 18.04, so the drive R is at /mnt/r.

$ nano ~/.bashrc  
alias notebook="jupyter notebook --notebook-dir=/mnt/r" 
$ source ~/.bashrc  
$ notebook

It does not open the browser automatically, so I have to copy the URL manually. It may ask you to enter the token which you can get by executing:

$ jupyter notebook list

Solution 13 - Python

This is to open Jupiter lab from E Drive

Open Anaconda Prompt Type the code below in terminal, where you want to point to E drive

jupyter lab --notebook-dir=E:/
