Link Conda environment with Jupyter Notebook

For Anaconda I suggest you a much easier and proper solution;
just give a look at the nb_conda_kernels package.

It allows you to “manage your conda environment-based kernels inside the Jupyter Notebook”.

Is should be included since Anaconda version 4.1.0, otherwise simply use

conda install nb_conda

Now you should be able to manage all direcly from the Notebook interface.

Note that only environments that have a Jupyter kernel installed (in the case of Python, the ipykernel package). Quote from the nb_conda_kernels GitHub page:

Any other environments you wish to access in your notebooks must have an appropriate kernel package installed. For instance, to access a Python environment, it must have the ipykernel package; e.g.

conda install -n python_env ipykernel
