My Jupyter notebooks installed with python 2 kernel. I do not understand why. I might have messed something up when I did the install. I already have python 3 installed. How can I add it to Jupyter? Here's a screenshot of what the default Jupyter insalled with python3 -m install jupyter and opened in the browser with jupyter notebooklooks like: enter image description here

This worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04:

python2 -m pip install ipykernel
python2 -m ipykernel install --user

python3 -m pip install ipykernel
python3 -m ipykernel install --user

Reference to the documentation:
Kernels for Python 2 and 3. Installing the IPython kernel - IPython Docs.
