VScode fails to export Jupyter notebook to HTML – 'jupyter-nbconvert` not found

Question:

I keep on getting error message:

Available subcommands: 1.0.0
Jupyter command `jupyter-nbconvert` not found.

I’ve tried to reinstall nbconvert using pip to no use. I’ve also tried the tip from this thread with installing pip install jupyter in vscode terminal but it shows that "Requirement already satisfied"
VSCode fails to export jupyter notebook to html

I’ve also tried to manually edit jupyter settings.json file to the following:

"python.pythonPath": "C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts"

I’ve python 3.9 installed via windows store.
Any tip on what might be the issue for vscode doesn’t want to export the notebook?

Here’s my step to convert .ipynb to html:

  1. Install required module: pip install nbconvert
  2. Turn to the folder that contains .ipynb then run jupyter nbconvert --to html Text.ipynb

You may create a new virtual environment to avoid messing up global one then try again.

For your reference: nbconvert-PyPI and create virtual environment.

Unsure exactly what fixed the issue but heres a summary.

  1. Updated to python 3.10
  2. Installed pandoc and miktex
  3. Powershell reinstall nbconvert
  • Received warning that nbconvert script file is installed in a location not in Path.
  • Copied said location to System Properties – Envionment Variables – Path
  1. Restart and install all miktex package on the go

PDF export and HTML export seems to work as intended now.

After facing a similar problem, I tried to resolve it. None of these solutions didn’t resolve my problem.

But found an alternative approach, tried opening the notebook by the following command and succeeded.

python -m notebook

If a notebook was not installed in your system, then install it with pip

pip install notebook

After opening your notebook into Jupiter, export it into your desired file.

I use Pyhton3 and have very limited packages in python, this caused a problem for me.

pip install nbconvert

also try using

pip3 install nbconvert
