How to update my JupyterLab version to the latest version?

Product Help

I ran “Anaconda Navigator” from the start menu of my Windows 10 OS.

From the “Home” tab I chose the “example” environment, which I had previously created from the Anaconda prompt.

The list of applications included “JupyterLab”.

The version shown for “JupyterLab” was 3.6.3.

According to the PyPI repository, the current version of JupyterLab is 4.0.5.

However, when I click the cogwheel on the JupyterLab application square, the option “Update application” is disabled.

I tried to update JupyterLab by executing the following command from the CMD.exe Prompt application: “conda update jupyterlab”. This didn’t help: the JupyterLab version remained 3.6.3 as before.

I tried to update JupyterLab by executing the following command from the CMD.exe Prompt application: “pip install jupyterlab”. This too didn’t help: the JupyterLab version remained 3.6.3 as before.

How can I update my JupyterLab to the latest version?

Hello,

The latest version of JupyterLab on the Anaconda Defaults repository is 3.6.3. That’s the reason why you aren’t further able to update it is the latest version it has.

I see. Thanks. Based on your observation I executed “conda update -c conda-forge jupyterlab”, and then the Navigator square for JupyterLab allowed me to update the application to 4.0.5.
