I tried without success to install some extensions to jupyter notebook and can't figure out how to do it. So basically I would like to have pep8 code checking in my notebook. I checked this post: Verifying PEP8 in iPython notebook code

However %install_ext is deprecated so instead I used 

jupyter nbextension install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SiggyF/notebooks/master/pep8_magic.py --user

So I get:

Copying: /tmp/tmpw74yl7m2/pep8_magic.py -> /home/louis/.local/share/jupyter/nbextensions/pep8_magic.py

To initialize this nbextension in the browser every time the notebook (or other app) loads:

          jupyter nbextension enable <the entry point> --user

From now on I could not get it working. I tried:

~$ jupyter nbextension enable pep8_magic.py --user
Enabling notebook extension pep8_magic.py...
      - Validating: problems found:
        - require?  X pep8_magic.py

Without success.

Can someone explain a simple method to get it working and what I missed about jupyter extensions ?

Thank you !

I manually copied the file from the link and then added to /.ipython/extensions (or /nbextensions) and loaded in the notebook: %load_ext pep8_magic

Currently testing but looks fine to me
