Hi Dan,

I'm trying to configure nbexample in JupyterHub environment. But getting error in installation steps 2.
Error : Not a directory: u'/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nbexamples-0.3.1-py2.7.egg/nbexamples/static'

So manually copy the static file in nbextensions folder. Now I can see the 'Example' tab. But not sure about the serverextension folder, means the /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nbextensions is missing.
Please suggest me.

Hi @hemantasingh. Can you share the commands you're running to install and enable the extension in your JupyterHub environment?

Hi Peter,
Thanks, error in below step 2.

  1. python setup.py install : Complete install with Success
  2. jupyter nbextension install --py nbexamples --sys-prefix : error
  3. jupyter nbextension enable --py nbexamples --sys-prefix
  4. jupyter serverextension enable --py nbexamples --sys-prefix

@hemantasingh I don't know if you're still trying to get this to work, but I ran into the same issue, and if you can use conda to install the extension (i.e. if your JupyterHub setup is conda managed), then this gets around the issue:

conda install -c conda-forge nbexamples
