Using Jupyter with Windows Subsystem for Linux

Grayscale picture Grayscale · Jun 15, 2018 · Viewed 12.2k times · Source

Using the Ubuntu bash terminal on Windows 10 (installation instructions here), I installed Anaconda and have been using Jupyter notebooks without a problem. Unfortunately, Jupyter is unable to locate a runnable browser from within the subsystem, so I have to copy and paste the link it outputs in the terminal - but that is workable. The main issue comes when I try to open multiple notebooks. Normally, Jupyter would detect that a port (8888 by default) is already being used and make a new one, but it seems to fail to detect this so that when I use the link it generates, I end up looking at the first notebook I opened instead of the new one.

Any idea what the issue might be? And, if not, how I can manually get around this?
