Converting jupyter notebook to pdf - nbconvert

Notebook nbconvert
1

I have been able to use nbconvert in the past, but it isn’t working now. I suspect it is because of my graphs. This is the error that I get:

FileNotFoundError: Inkscape executable not found

I have installed Inkscape and added the inkscape.exe file to PATH (was I supposed to?), but it still doesn’t work. Any advice?

2

Have you tried to switch it off and on again? Well, seriously, after installing the updated PATH variable might not be available to all processes, see e.g. this for reference.

For readability and activating scrol features, please encapsulate your error logs with three backticks (```) on an empty line each.

3

I have restarted the notebook and my computer. Still doesn’t work.

4

Then I guess you did not correctly add inkscape to your PATH variable. Because it should work. Maybe you can check in the Jupyter Notebook which paths you have in the PATH variable and share all of them ? Did you add the folder of inkscape.exe to the path variable? How did you add it?

5

I am on Windows, so I went to ‘System Properties’ > ‘Environment Variables’ > ‘Path’ > ‘Edit…’. Then I added ‘C:\Program Files\Inkscape\inkscape.exe’.

6

As you can see on Wikipedia, you should add the folder of the executable to the path, i.e. C:\Program Files\Inkscape\, and not the path to the EXE file.

7

I have tried both ways, it still doesn’t work.

I guess the new error message is the result of adjusting the PATH variable and restarting the computer. For the new error message I have no idea. Please tell us once you have found a solution.

Yes, you are supposed to add the inkscape.exe file to the PATH environment variable. This will allow Python to find the Inkscape executable when it is needed.

One possible reason why nbconvert is still not working is that the Inkscape executable is not in the correct location in the PATH environment variable. To check this, you can open a command prompt and type the following command:

echo %PATH%

This will print the PATH environment variable to the command prompt. You should see the location of the Inkscape executable in the PATH variable. If it is not in the PATH variable, you can add it by editing the PATH environment variable.

Another possible reason why nbconvert is not working is that the Inkscape executable is not compatible with the version of Python that you are using. To check the version of Python that you are using, you can open a command prompt and type the following command:

python --version

This will print the version of Python to the command prompt. You can then compare this version to the compatibility requirements of the Inkscape executable. If the Inkscape executable is not compatible with the version of Python that you are using, you will need to install a different version of Inkscape.

If you are still having problems, you can try the following:

  • Restart your computer.
  • Reinstall Inkscape.
  • Reinstall nbconvert.
  • Contact the nbconvert developers for assistance.
