- MNE version: e.g. 1.0.3
- operating system: e.g. Windows 10

i followed the procedure on the MNE portal. i downloaded it through their installer as i am not super proficient with python. after installation i installed the nb\_conda\_kernels-2.3.1 packages in conda prompt. even their " test your installation" part seems fine no error .  
so when i try to import mne in jupyter notebook it shows …no such package found

appreciate your help!

is it possible that you have installed python / jupyter in your system in 2 different ways  
and that you have two parallel installs?

Hello @rogan, and welcome to the forum!

I don’t think we currently create a shortcut for Jupiter Notebook when running the installer. So what you should do is start the `Prompt (MNE)` shortcut and run `jupyter notebook` from the command line that opens.

Best wishes,
