how to open Jupyter notebook in chrome on windows

Question

On my Windows PC, i have anaconda installed and when I open a jupyter notebook, it opens up in internet explorer, but I would like to use Chrome instead. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Answer 1

If you haven't already, create a notebook config file by running

jupyter notebook --generate-config

Then, edit the file jupyter_notebook_config.py found in the .jupyter folder of your home directory.

You need to change the line # c.NotebookApp.browser = '' to c.NotebookApp.browser = 'C:/path/to/your/chrome.exe %s'

On windows 10, Chrome should be located C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe but check on your system to be sure.
