Failure to start Kernel due to Modules not installed

Rich Chiodo edited this page Feb 9, 2022 · 8 revisions

Python kernels can fail to start if some modules such as pytprocess ipykernel, pyzmq, etc are not installed.

Recommended solution

  • Please consider installing the missing modules.
  • If they have already been installed, its possible it hasn't been installed correct, hence try the reinstall option as follows:
    • python -m pip install <xyz> -U --force-reinstall
    • conda install --name <environment name> --update-deps --force-reinstall (if using Conda environments)
