notebook not installed with anaconda/jupyter

Question

I just installed Anaconda 2.1.0 (x86_64) for one of my course on MAC OS.

()Installation went OK

()PATH was updated

()ran the following commands and all seem to go OK.

conda update conda
conda update ipython
conda update pip
conda install bokeh

()version query returns

conda --version
conda 4.4.9

As per the instruction i should have notebook package installed. But i get the following error

XXXXX@Admins-MacBook-Pro ~ $ jupyter notebook 
Error executing Jupyter command 'notebook': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

conda list only has ipython notebook

gsandhu@Admins-MacBook-Pro ~ $ conda list | grep notebook ipython-notebook 2.2.0 py27_0

Previously i tried updating jupyter using "pip install jupyter" and i was able to start the notebook but then there were issues in kernal . So i uninstalled everything and started from fresh.

Can anyone please guide me through this? Thanks in Advance

Adding more details

After this if i do "pip install jupyter" . I can start notebook but right away i get the following error in in kernal .

After installing conda you need to create an environment to work with, to do so head to Terminal and type

conda create -n environment_name python=3.6.3

Then after the environment has been created, you need to activate it using

source activate environment_name

Then you can perform installing Jupyter (with your environment activated)

conda install jupyter

To install other packages just do the same thing (with your environment activated) for example:

conda install numpy
conda install pandas
conda install scikit-learn
conda install matplotlib
pip install --upgrade tensorflow

To start using Jupyter, first you need to activate the environment, then you can type jupyter notebook to use it.
