JupyterLab Terminal

[elb...@jhu.edu]

Hi All-

I guess this is a newbie question, but I can't find it in the docs.  When I start a terminal in JupyterLab I get a bash shell, but I can't figure out where it is running.  

For example, I type:

$conda info

and the reply is:

bash conda:command not found.

Considering the whole installation was done with conda into an environment created in conda this doesn't make sense to me.

I expected a shell on the environment/host that's running JupyterLab so am confused.

Would someone please be so kind as to enlighten me?

Thanks,

David

It opens a new interactive shell on your computer, as if you had opened a new terminal on your computer. When you open a new terminal on your desktop, does conda work? What operating system are you using?

Hi Jason-

Thanks for weighing in.  I haven't had time to read the other issue your referenced, but in response to your comment I am running Mac OS 10.12.6.  My default terminal is bash and conda is installed and running normally.  I have a half dozen conda environments including the one I use for jupyterlab so I am definitely not getting what I expected to be the behavior of a new terminal shell on my local computer.  I considered that perhaps jupyterlab has its own bash executable, but that seems nuts to me and I don't know where it would be (of course it isn't nuts if this is to run on a machine that doesn't have a bash shell already loaded).
