Jupyter Python 2 Installation video

I can't for the life of me find the video on how you can choose python 2 in Jupyter. I think I've seen it on previous videos (not the intro to Jupyter lessons). Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Heri!

Thanks for reaching out.

Indeed, since the Python 2 version is not supported anymore (although it apparently exists), Anaconda are relying on Python 3 only.
There are several ways to install Python 2 now. Perhaps the most intuitive and easy to use one is install Python 3 and then only add the Python 2 kernel in a new Python 2 environment.
Here's more information from the documentation on how you can do that (depending on your operating system):
https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/switch-environment/
Alternatively, you can download an older (i.e. archived) Anaconda version from here:
https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/
Nevertheless, using older versions may require from you to install Python 3 in identical manner. Therefore, I'd suggest you try the first option.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Martin

Cheers. Hopefully there are plans for this lesson to be updated to py3.

Hi Heri!

Thanks for your reply.

Indeed, the lesson is valid for Python 3 users as well! In other words, the same modules and packages exist for Python 3, too. All that is required is for you to be using Python 3!

Hope this helps but please feel free to get back to us should you need further assistance. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Martin
