Can't Install Jupyterlab-HELP!

I keep getting the "error: subprocess-exited-with-error. I’ve tried the below to fix it: pip install jupyterlab --pre, pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel, pip cache purge, pip install --upgrade pip, pip install --upgrade ipython jupyter. I still get the same error. Thanks

What is the error it is exiting with? We’d need more to go on then the fact there is an error in order to advise you. Please share with us details like a full traceback, the type of system, is it a new install or was some related software working before in the past, etc…
Please read Getting good answers to your questions and expand on the little of have shared with more information.

For sharing code lines or text blocks, use ’ Inline code formatting’ or ‘Block code formatting’, respectively, see here for details how to do it. Currently, “pip install jupyterlab --pre, pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel, pip cache purge, pip install --upgrade pip, pip install --upgrade ipython jupyter” is just one big run-on when it shouldn’t be and there should be code indications.



Perhaps, try the easier install…

Since it is JupyterLab involved, I will point out that JupyterLab Desktop, is “the quickest and easiest way to get started with Jupyter notebooks on your personal computer”, see here.
If you go that route, you should read that article because it outlines how you are expected to work with sessions & projects.

Thanks for the advice to install Jupyterlab Desktop.

After attempting to install Jupyterlab Desktop, I received this message “Jupyterlab-Setup-Windows-x64.exe was blocked because this type of file can harm your device.” Any suggestions on how to get past this without damaging my device?

What browser are you using? This is a typical warning on Windows computers using Microsoft Edge. See here for an unrelated example pointing this common issue out and how you can resolve it when you know the source of the file is legitimate.

Perhaps that was the issue because I’ve now been able to download it on Google Chrome. Thanks for the help.
