2 Functions

IPython.html.nbextensions.check_nbextension(files, user=False, prefix=None, nbextensions_dir=None)

Check whether nbextension files have been installed

Returns True if all files are found, False if any are missing.

Parameters:

files : list(paths)

a list of relative paths within nbextensions.

user : bool [default: False]

Whether to check the user’s .ipython/nbextensions directory. Otherwise check a system-wide install (e.g. /usr/local/share/jupyter/nbextensions).

prefix : str [optional]

Specify install prefix, if it should differ from default (e.g. /usr/local). Will check prefix/share/jupyter/nbextensions

nbextensions_dir : str [optional]

Specify absolute path of nbextensions directory explicitly.

IPython.html.nbextensions.install_nbextension(path, overwrite=False, symlink=False, user=False, prefix=None, nbextensions_dir=None, destination=None, verbose=1)

Install a Javascript extension for the notebook

Stages files and/or directories into the nbextensions directory. By default, this compares modification time, and only stages files that need updating. If overwrite is specified, matching files are purged before proceeding.

Parameters:

path : path to file, directory, zip or tarball archive, or URL to install

By default, the file will be installed with its base name, so ‘/path/to/foo’ will install to ‘nbextensions/foo’. See the destination argument below to change this. Archives (zip or tarballs) will be extracted into the nbextensions directory.

overwrite : bool [default: False]

If True, always install the files, regardless of what may already be installed.

symlink : bool [default: False]

If True, create a symlink in nbextensions, rather than copying files. Not allowed with URLs or archives. Windows support for symlinks requires Vista or above, Python 3, and a permission bit which only admin users have by default, so don’t rely on it.

user : bool [default: False]

Whether to install to the user’s .ipython/nbextensions directory. Otherwise do a system-wide install (e.g. /usr/local/share/jupyter/nbextensions).

prefix : str [optional]

Specify install prefix, if it should differ from default (e.g. /usr/local). Will install to <prefix>/share/jupyter/nbextensions

nbextensions_dir : str [optional]

Specify absolute path of nbextensions directory explicitly.

destination : str [optional]

name the nbextension is installed to. For example, if destination is ‘foo’, then the source file will be installed to ‘nbextensions/foo’, regardless of the source name. This cannot be specified if an archive is given as the source.

verbose : int [default: 1]

Set verbosity level. The default is 1, where file actions are printed. set verbose=2 for more output, or verbose=0 for silence.
