JupyterLab

In order to install the JupyterLab extension jupyter-cytoscape, you will first need to install nodejs, you can install it with conda by doing

The jupyer-cytoscape labextension should have been automatically installed for you when you installed the Python package, but you still need to install the JupyterLab widget manager:

Old version of Jupyter notebook

If you installed via pip, and use Juptyer Notebook with a version < 5.3, you will also have to install / configure the front-end extension as well. If you are using classic notebook (as opposed to Jupyterlab), run:

jupyter nbextension install [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py ipycytoscape

jupyter nbextension enable [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py ipycytoscape

with the appropriate flag.

If you are installing using conda, these commands should be unnecessary, but If you need to run them the commands should be the same (just make sure you choose the --sys-prefix flag).
