Question:
I installed python3 and jupyter notebook using pip3 in MacOs 10.9.
When I try to run the widget it gives error that there is no javascript widget.
I have python3 and R kernels installed in Jupyter-notebook.
Code:
from ipywidgets import widgets
from IPython.display import display
text = widgets.Text()
display(text)
text.on_submit('hello')
Error:
Widget Javascript not detected. It may not be installed or enabled properly.
Attempts:
sudo -H pip3 install ipywidgets
sudo -H pip3 install -upgrade ipywidgets
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
# restarted the computer.
The last command gives error.
[EnableNBExtensionApp] CRITICAL | Bad config encountered during initialization:
[EnableNBExtensionApp] CRITICAL | Unrecognized flag: '--py'
Note that in mac I have jupyter-nbextension command but the command:
jupyter-nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
does not work either.
But jupyter nbextension enable widgetsnbextension
gives no error and also does nothing. The same error is popped in if I run the code.
Also,
import ipywidgets
ipywidgets.__version__
gives '6.0.0'.
Some notes:
which jupyter
jupyter is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/jupyter
which jupyter-notebook
jupyter-notebook is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/jupyter-notebook

How can I install widgets?
Do I need to install java separately ?
Run the following command:
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
, then restart the kernel in Jupyter should do the trick.
