I am new to Python to bear with me.

  1. I installed Anaconda, works great.
  2. I setup a Python 3 environment following the Anaconda cmd line instructions, works great.
  3. I setup Anaconda's Python 3 environment as Pycharm's interpreter, works great.
  4. I launched the Anaconda "launcher.app" and launched IPython Notebook. However, iPython Notebook is running Python 2 not 3.

Over three hours of Googling later, I cannot figure out how to set IPython Notebook to run Python 3 instead of 2.
