notebook backend not working in jupyterlab

See original GitHub issue

I just installed this on top of my standard env, using conda-forge.

Using standard %matplotlib nbagg as activation command and using standard mpl plotting did not pop up any figure inside a jupyterlab notebook?

Using MPL 2.0 and jupyterlab v0.16 on a Python 3.5 env with conda on OSX 10.11.6 inside Safari 10.0.3

In case others get here and are a little confused: At the beginning of your notebook, run %matplotlib ipympl, not %matplotlib notebook/nbagg.

For installation You need to install node.js. In the terminal, run

conda install notebook jupyterlab # for updating jupyter notebook and lab
pip install ipympl
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager jupyter-matplotlib

This is now working (shown with pinned versions so this will always work):

pip install jupyterlab==0.28.11 ipympl==0.0.8
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager@^0.28 jupyter-matplotlib@^0.1
jupyter lab

%matplotlib ipympl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([0,1,1,2])
