How to change the default serving directory of ipython when started from anaconda.

[rudras...@gmail.com]

I recently installed anaconda (moving from my local setup to this). 

I installed the version for python 3.5 in windows 10. From the anaconda navigator app 

I launched Jupyter notebook where it says 

Serving notebooks from local directory: C:\Users\Lenovo\Documents

I would like to change this directory.

For this I tried editing C:\Users\Lenovo\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\jupyter_core\tests\dotipython\profile_default\ipython_notebook_config.py.

But there is nothing there.

Please help me in figuring this out.

I ran into the same problem as you. I finally found a way to modify that:
- run anaconda command prompt
- run >jupyter notebook --generate-config
- a directory .jupyter/ should have created in your home with a file jupyter_notebook_config.py
- uncomment and edit the field c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir

Hope it helps.

How did you manage to figure such thing out!?!?

Thanks a lot though :)

How do you edit the line:

#c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = u''

Is this example correct for Python 27?

c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = u'' D:\Mydirectory"

Worked for me either. Just delete u and paste the directory inside ''.

Did you do this on Windows? If you delete the u you remove the "unicode" mark and starting jupyter will have a bunch of error messages and it puts in back in the default user directory.

This would be a great thing to have as configurable from Anaconda Navigator.  If you agree, you could create an issue here:

https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/new

with a title something like "Make starting directory for Jupyter Notebook configurable from Navigator"

But after doing so, I am able to open the set directory from Anaconda prompt only. When I try to open by the Start menu Jupyter Notebook link-it opens the user profile foldr only
