Anaconda Navigator (Anaconda3) is installed
The installation recommends not checking the option to add the software to the Windows Path!
I had problems with the SymPy package; and when performing these steps it was resolved:
Julia\> ENV [“PYTHON”] = “C: /Users/hermesr/Anaconda3/pythonw.exe”
> “C: /Users/hermesr/Anaconda3/pythonw.exe”
> (@ v1.5) pkg\> build PyCall
> using SymPy
But by doing the same for IJulia we do not get the desired results:
ENV [“JUPYTER”] = “C: /Users/hermesr/Anaconda3/Scripts/jupyter.exe”
> “C: /Users/hermesr/Anaconda3/Scripts/jupyter.exe”
> (@ v1.5) pkg\> build IJulia
> using IJulia
> notebook ()
> …

I am not sure I can contribute more, but I noticed that IJulia’s documentation says that you can test your installation by doing `run(`$(ENV[“JUPYTER”]) --version`)` from Julia.

It will be possible to find this documentation in English:

at the Julia command prompt, type
```julia
run(`$(ENV["JUPYTER"]) --version`)
```
and hit Enter. It should give you information about your Python installation.

However, IJulia is already running on the Work PC:
Take the folder of the installation in the Home PC, put it in the package folder of the installation at work and perform the following steps:
```julia
(@v1.5) pkg> add Conda
(@v1.5) pkg> build Conda
Building Conda → `C:\Users\hermesr\.julia\packages\Conda\3rPhK\deps\build.log`
Julia>using Conda
(@v1.5) pkg> add IJulia
(@v1.5) pkg> build IJulia
Julia>using IJulia

sorry, this is beyond me.

In my case, what would be the correct syntax to see the execution of the command:
> run(`$(ENV["JUPYTER"]) --version`)
