Error when running modular install mojo
modular install mojo always throws the error no module named 'jupyter_client'. Mojo is installed but no jupyter kernel is available and I can't work with Mojo in a notebook. How should I fix this error? I've already tried installing the required packages to site-packages inside the python3.12 folder in venv to no avail. Here is the full error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/lucasgranucci/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/jupyter/manage_kernel.py", line 14, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jupyter_client'

Could you share what version of
modular -v and mojo are you using? Also have you tried modular clean and installing again?I have modular 0.7.1 (28ddab26) and mojo 24.2.0 (c2427bc5). I installed modular with brew install modular. Cleaning and installing again doesn't fix the issue
Thanks! Could you try either
source ~/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/activate or python3 -m pip install notebook in your python environment to see if they resolve the issue?The directory ~/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/activate doesn't exist. I tried with ~/.modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/bin/activate and python3 -m pip install notebook but the error persists.
The main issue is we currently support Python 3.8 to 3.11 https://docs.modular.com/engine/get-started#requirements

Yes, but if I look inside the .modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/venv/bin/ folder on my computer, I see python3.12. Is there any way to change what python is installed when installing modular?
Right! one way could be using that python to create the missing
venv with python3 -m venv venv but I'm not completely sure if it solves this issue. Probably need to manually install the dependencies too. We will refine this process as we support python3.12 so stay tuned!
