Fail to run under anaconda

[yuvval]

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this package. It looks really useful.
I have trouble using it under anaconda.
It seems like everything installs correctly, however, when I open a .md file, it opens as a simple text file.

The procedure I followed for adding ipymd to my conda enviroment was:

source activate my_env
pip install ipymd 
jupyter notebook --generate-config
jupyter --config-dir # --> Result with: /home/user/.jupyter
echo c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = 'ipymd.IPymdContentsManager' >> /home/user/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py
echo c.IPymdContentsManager.format = 'markdown' >>  /home/user/jupyter_notebook_config.py 

and then double checking the above line were added correctly to /home/user/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Thanks again!

Hi, I just tried your commands and it worked for me (using latest conda packages and Python 3.6). Have you restarted jupyter? Have you checked that you've installed jupyter in the "my_env" venv and that it's not using a globally-installed jupyter? Otherwise could you remove all comments from the config file and post it here?

Also, can you try it in your root conda environment?

Thanks for the quick response. Looking on the jupyter console log, I saw the following error: File "/home/user/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py", line 607, in <module> c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = ipymd.IPymdContentsManager NameError: name 'ipymd' is not defined So I added import ipymd to the config script, and it works now. Any idea why it didn't work with your instructions? Maybe you can add "import pymd" under a troubleshooting section.

Ah, there are no quotes around ipymd.IPymdContentsManager, maybe that's the problem. I wonder if the echo command didn't strip out those (I put these lines directly in the config file instead of using the terminal, maybe that was the difference).
