What is Right extension for Plotly in JupyterLab?

Plotly is not working in Jupyterlab. I assume that there is a conflict in required extensions but I’m not sure. On checking troubleshooting on Plotly https://plotly.com/python/troubleshooting/ , they advise to remove extensions and install them again. But I found that there is additional extension that came with Jupyterlab update called ‘jupyterlab-plotly-extension‘ which is not mentioned by Plotly in their instructions to make it working in JupyterLab https://plotly.com/python/getting-started/#jupyterlab-support-python-35

My question is: which extensions should be installed to make Plotly working in JupyterLab?

• jupyterlab-plotly as mentioned in Plotly support
• jupyterlab-plotly-extension that came with JupyterLab

Answer

Enter ‘jupyter labextension list’ in a terminal or command to run the environment status. The example below shows my environment information with ‘jupyter lab’ running successfully.
