How to install IPython notebook extensions

[Andrew Malcolmson]

I'm experimenting with creating basic math worksheets for children and I need the ablility to hide some code cells.  I believe this extension allows that:

https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions/tree/master/nbextensions/usability/runtools

I've tried cloning the repo and running 'python setup.py install' but the installer cannot find the Jupyter modules so apparently the notebook is running from another Python install which I can't find.  I also tried copying the contents of the nbextensions directory into ~/.ipython/nbextensions but the notebook can't find them.

How may I install this extension or are there better ways to get cell hiding?  Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure if this works, but since ipython is installed inside
Sage, the configuration directory is different. I.e. the command
"ipython locate" gives "~/.sage/ipython-4.0.0/" for me, and inside
that directory is "nbextensions".

Thanks but it doesn't Jupyter/IPython doesn't find them there either.

I understand that Jupyter version 4 uses a new configuration system:

https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions/wiki/Home_Jupyter

However I can't follow this document because it seems the system Python install in the shell is not the one used by Jupyter/IPython since if I run this:

jupyter nbextension enable <any extension name>

I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/jupyter", line 7, in <module>

    from jupyter_core.command import main

ImportError: No module named jupyter_core.command

So, where in the system is that Python installed?

Thanks again.

Type "sage -sh" to set the environment to use the python that runs the
Jupyter notebook.

I've not heard of anybody ever installing a jupyter extension for Sage
yet, or in SageMathCloud, and I've never done it. So we're not just
being cryptic about how to do this -- we don't know / haven't tried
yet.

OK, thanks William, getting somewhere now

Python version:

/projects/sage/sage-6.9/local/bin/python

Local Jupyter config dir:

~/.jupyter

Local nbextensions dir:

.local/share/jupyter/

Prepended /projects/sage/sage-6.9/local/bin to $PATH and tried again:

'setup.py install' from the nbextensions repo I downloaded before now works and installs extensions in .local/share/jupyter.  

'jupyter nbextension enable' still fails with a missing notebook module.

The Python code to enable exentsions (from document I linked to above) succeeds and the local notebook config files now list extensions enabled. 

However, even after a restart, I don't see any sign of the exensions in the Notebook itself.   That's all the time I have for today.
