Cannot install linenumbers

[juliahcodes]

Hi,

I'm having trouble installing linenumbers. I'm running Jupyter Notebook on a Linux Mint Debian Edition 4 machine and, following your instructions, I get:

juliah@windowsmypc:~$ pip3 install jupyter-linenumbers
Requirement already satisfied: jupyter-linenumbers in ./.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (0.2.1)

juliah@windowsmypc:~$ jupyter nbextension install --py linenumbers --user
The Jupyter HTML Notebook.

This launches a Tornado based HTML Notebook Server that serves up an
HTML5/Javascript Notebook client.

Subcommands
-----------

Subcommands are launched as `jupyter-notebook cmd [args]`. For information on
using subcommand 'cmd', do: `jupyter-notebook cmd -h`.

list
    List currently running notebook servers.
stop
    Stop currently running notebook server for a given port
password
    Set a password for the notebook server.

Options
-------

Arguments that take values are actually convenience aliases to full
Configurables, whose aliases are listed on the help line. For more information
on full configurables, see '--help-all'.

--debug
    set log level to logging.DEBUG (maximize logging output)

    MathJax is the javascript library Jupyter uses to render math/LaTeX. It is
    very large, so you may want to disable it if you have a slow internet
    connection, or for offline use of the notebook.
    
    When disabled, equations etc. will appear as their untransformed TeX source.
--allow-root
    Allow the notebook to be run from root user.

--browser=<Unicode> (NotebookApp.browser)
    Default: ''
    Specify what command to use to invoke a web browser when opening the

I haven't worked with Jupyter in a while, but the error message seems to suggest the --user flag is no longer supported. Could you try without --user?

[juliahcodes]

Hi,

I've tried without the --user flag, but then it complained about the --py flag:

juliah@windowsmypc:~$ jupyter nbextension install --py linenumbers
[E 04:51:19.962 NotebookApp] Support for specifying --pylab on the command line has been removed.
[E 04:51:19.962 NotebookApp] Please use `%pylab linenumbers` or `%matplotlib linenumbers` in the notebook itself.

Trying without the --py flag:

juliah@windowsmypc:~$ jupyter nbextension install linenumbers
[C 04:53:22.407 NotebookApp] No such file or directory: /home/juliah/nbextension

Maybe it will work easier if we get this #2 working.

Ah, and maybe you need to run jupyter notebook --generate-config first?
