The problem could be, that your username contains a space (" Pedro Luiz").
To check could you try the following:

  • Open a CMD window
  • create a Folder e.g. C:\Temp and write at the command prompt:
    SET JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=C:\Temp
  • Start Julia from the same command prompt, it is probably:
    "C:\Users\Pedro Luiz\AppData\Local\Julia-1.3.1\bin\julia.exe"
    (check your version!)
  • Now try again to install and use IJulia (type ] at the julia prompt) to enter Pkg REPL and enter add IJulia
    (v1.3) pkg> add IJulia
    It should install everything in C:\Temp and hopefully without any problems.

To do something similar permanently you should set the environment variable JULIA_DEPOT_PATH at the appropriate windows dialog (check google for “setting environment variable in windows”)

Maybe related:

So my suggestion may work but it may be not because if the space in the user name. It may work just because of the forced reinstallation.

I observed a similar problem recently, apparently due to a conflict between the Jupyter (actually Tornado IIRC) and Python versions on Windows in the latest Anaconda (Tornado’s code was using an asyncio feature from Python 3.8). Separately, there was a Windows path problem in IJulia’s notebook() function that was fixed over the weekend.

Try the following things:

  1. Just do pkg> update, restart Julia, and try again with IJulia.notebook().

  2. Do pkg> add Conda and then julia> import Conda; Conda.update(), and try again with IJulia.notebook(), in hopes that Anaconda has fixed this problem.

  3. Do julia> import Conda; Conda.add("python=3.8"), and try again with IJulia.notebook(). This fixed the problem for me last night.

Update: should be fixed by unpin Anaconda on Windows by stevengj · Pull Request #170 · JuliaPy/Conda.jl · GitHub once this is merged and tagged. The problem was that Conda.jl was pinning Python at 3.6 to fix an issue a couple of years ago, and we forgot to unpin it.
