What Is The Correct Way To Update Jupyter Notebook Extensions?

What is the correct way to upgrade Jupyter Notebook extensions (e.g. RISE, ipywidgets)? I have a routine which keeps my Python packages updated by running pip install --upgrade, an

Solution 1:

jupyter nbextension install --py --sys-prefix installs the extension code in the correct place, so yes you should run this when you update an extension.

jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix just writes in a JSON file to load the relevant extension - so unless the extension changes its name then no, you don't need to rerun this.

Solution 2:

Consider running jupyter labextension update --all in terminal to check and install updates.

Solution 3:

if you've installed using anaconda you could open an anaconda prompt and write

conda update rise

for example. that seems to work for me.
