Answer 3

First activate the conda environment from the command line, then launch the notebook server.

Answer 4

You can use this on conda prompt:

conda activate env_name

jupyter notebook

source activate env_name gives me an error: 'source' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
