How to use FEniCS in Jupyter by Anaconda

Question

I have installed FEniCS through anaconda and activate it by

source activate fenicsproject

Now the python has referred to

(fenicsproject) Nailo[Dolfin]$which python
//anaconda/envs/fenicsproject/bin/python

The FEniCS works in the terminal. However, when I open a jupyter notebook and try to import dolfin like

from dolfin import *

The error shows

ImportError: No module named 'dolfin'

How can I use FEniCS in jupyter?

Any hint or help is much appreciated.

This works fine for me. Here is what I did:

• Installed FEniCS and Jupyter from conda-forge channel:

  conda create -n fenicsproject -c conda-forge python=3.5 jupyter fenics

• Activated fenicsproject:

  source activate fenicsproject

• Started a Jupyter notebook:

  jupyter-notebook --ip=0.0.0.0

This opened up a notebook in my web browser and I clicked on New -> Python 3 and from there I could import dolfin.
