Jupyter Notebook's RISE Missing Slideshow Button

Question

I followed the instructions on installing RISE for Jupyter notebook with Anaconda (conda) but the "Enter/Exit RISE Slideshow" button never showed in the toolbar.

I followed the recommendations on solving the problem in the two closed RISE issues (#137, #275), but with no luck. I updated Jupyter to the latest version, started a new notebook, hard refreshed the browser page, reinstalled Rise and still no button.

I also saw this SO question, which is different from my case since I never saw the button, and I do not have nbextensions to begin with. Still, their recommendation did not work.

For practical reasons, I cannot have a separate environment just for RISE and presentation making.

I'm having the same problem on two machines, with different operating systems and different Conda packages, so it may be a RISE package problem. On one of the machines, I have:

Google Chrome 66.0.3359.117 (64-bit)
conda 4.5.1 with python 3.6.4
jupyter 1.0.0
jupyter_core 4.3.0
notebook 5.0.0
rise 5.2.0 py36_0 damianavila82
MacOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

My conda packages seem to be in good shape and without missing dependencies too.

$ jupyter nbextension list
Known nbextensions:
  config dir: /Users/welshamy/Applications/anaconda3/etc/jupyter/nbconfig
    notebook section
      jupyter-js-widgets/extension  enabled 
      - Validating: OK
      rise/main  enabled 
      - Validating: OK

This is a package compatibility issue. I solved the problem by doing the following:

Upgrade conda packages from the command line:
```
$ conda update --all
```
Restart jupyter-notebook session.
Restart web browser.
Open a new notebook.
Done.

I had the same issue!

Here is what I did to resolve the issue:

First I install the pip library of rise

    pip install RISE

Then, I run the conda command

    conda install -c conda-forge rise

Now, Activate your conda

    conda activate

Now, run the below command.

    jupyter nbextension install rise --py --user

last, enable nbextension to use rise

    jupyter nbextension enable rise --py --user
