ImportError: cannot import name 'ensure_dir_exists'
Question:
I update the Jupyter notebook from the old version to latest 5.3.1. However, when I try to launch the notebook from anaconda, it throws an import error:
I tried to remove and install Jupyter package, still, the issue persists.

Answers:
You need to update jupyter_core and jupyter_client manually from your terminal:
conda update jupyter_core jupyter_client
If you’ve installed jupyter using pip3.
pip3 install --upgrade jupyter_core jupyter_client
I’ve met the same problem when I use ipython notebook .
After I tried upgrade jupyter, then I tried reinstall the ipython.
The import error seem fixed.
pip3 uninstall ipython
pip3 install ipython
update jupyter core
pip install jupyter-core --upgrade
this working for me in Anaconda3 with python 3.6
When I tried to install R the notebook was upgraded to 5.3.1 and same problem appeared, however the highest vote answer apparently didn’t work for me.
What I did was:
conda uninstall jupyter notebook
then:
conda install jupyter notebook
and the problem solved with the old version.
I had a similar issue on Ubuntu after installing RStudio on my system. To solve it, first I tried @MichaelCara suggestion to update jupyter. However, after that I got the following new message error:
ImportError: libsodium.so.23: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which I solved installing libsodium as explained here.
In short:
conda update jupyter_core jupyter_client jupyter_console
conda install libsodium
