Execution error: Can't open jupyter notebook on command line (MacOS)

I am a novice just starting to learn Python and other computer languages. I installed Jupiter notebook on my Mac and also anaconda and just encountered a problem when I tried to open jupyter notebook on my command.

The message popped out as : 

execution error: "~~~(I just abbreviated the location)" doesn’t understand the “open location” message. (-1708)

I have no sense what's happening here.

How can I solve this?

My workaround was to use the automator tool app for Mac to open both Chrome and jupyter notebook at the same time. Here's the applescript:

on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Terminal"
        activate
        do script with command "jupyter notebook"
    end tell
    tell application "Google Chrome"
        activate
        open location "http://localhost:8888/"
    end tell

end run

Hopefully this helps! Here is a good URL on how to use Automator if you have not used it in the past: http://radarearth.com/content/automate-terminal-automator

This issue has been solved in the jupyter notebook github repo.

One solution would be to set you browser, for instance:

c.NotebookApp.browser = u'Safari'

in the config file: ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

There is a similar question on SO that addresses this. There are couple of workaround that are suggested there to avoid this issue:

Ipython notebook will not start on command line

Also, it is a known issue that may be due to a recent upgrade of Mac OSX. You can follow the discussion here, here and here.
