Install library for jupyter notebook

I start my jupyter notebook with python2 as:

jupyter notebook nameofnotebook

Then I want to import library like this:

import scipy

But I have an error telling that there is no such library.

So I execute in the notebook cell:

!pip2 install scipy
Requirement already satisfied: scipy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

How to install package correctly to jupyter kernel?

You can run pip from python.

import pip
pip.main(['install', 'scipy'])

If you are using the system python, and running jupyter in a process that doesn't have permission to install global packages, you can use the --user flag to install a module for the current user only.

pip.main(['install', '--user', 'scipy'])

@håken-lid is right. There are probably several versions of python. So to install your package to python where your jupyter is located:

$ which jupyter
/YOURPATH/bin/jupyter
$ /YOURPATH/bin/pip install scipy

This will do for Python 2.x

For Python 3.x pip3 will be in /YOURPATH/bin instead of single pip
