Solving Jupyter Lab Build Failures After Installing Plotly Extension

If you've ever tried integrating Plotly with JupyterLab, you might have encountered the frustrating issue of your build failing after attempting to install the Plotly extension. Many users face this same scenario, and while it can be perplexing, the solution is simpler than it might appear. In this guide, we will guide you through the problem and provide clear steps to get everything running smoothly.

Understanding the Issue

When you try to install the Plotly extension in JupyterLab and then run the build command, you may end up hitting a wall with a failure message. Here’s what typically happens:

You run a command to install the Plotly extension but encounter a failure when building it.

The error might seem technical or vague, often indicating permission issues or other build problems.

This can be particularly frustrating if you're not familiar with the underlying mechanics of JupyterLab extensions. However, there's no need to fret! The solution lies in understanding the changes in JupyterLab version 3.0 and how it handles extensions.

The Solution: Using Prebuilt Extensions

One of the significant improvements in JupyterLab 3.0 is its support for prebuilt extensions. This means you can install extensions directly from pip or conda without needing to execute a build process, which eliminates many common problems associated with manual builds.

Step 1: Uninstall Existing Extensions

Before we start fresh, let's remove any old installations that might cause conflicts. Open your terminal and run the following command to uninstall the extensions that you might have installed previously:

This command should show you that the problematic extensions are no longer present.

Step 3: Install Updated Packages

Next, let's install the latest versions of Plotly and IPyWidgets, which include the necessary components for proper functionality. You can do this using either pip or conda. Choose one of the following commands based on your package manager:

Using pip:

You should see the lines indicating that both jupyterlab-plotly and @ jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager are enabled with their respective versions.

Wrap-Up: Enjoy Plotly in JupyterLab

By following the steps outlined above, you should be able to overcome the build failure issue in JupyterLab when installing Plotly. Remember, the key takeaway is to leverage the prebuilt extensions introduced in JupyterLab 3.0 to simplify the installation process, saving you from the headaches associated with manual builds.

Now you're all set to utilize Plotly's interactive visualizations directly within your Jupyter notebooks without running into unwanted build errors. Happy coding!
