Can't use Emacs IPython Notebook?

Question

I've never tried IPython Notebook so I thought I would try EIN.

I installed ipython via dnf on Fedora 23 with all of the dependencies.

Then I installed ein via M-x list-packages through elpa.

But when I added (require 'ein) to my init.el I am getting the following error running emacs with --debug-init.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot $
  require(ein)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/home/myusername$
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/myusername/.ema$
  load("/home/myusername/.emacs.d/init" t t)
  #[0 "^H\205\262^@     \306=\203^Q^@\307^H\310Q\2$
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

I'm not sure what to look into to help me debug this. I saw a few compilation errors during installation of ein with elpa but when I relaunched and looked at M-x list-packages then it says it is installed. Is that somtehing I should be worried about?

You do not need to `(require 'ein)`. Instead you should `(package-initialize)`. — Stefan, May 28 '17 at 18:47

I believe the line should be

(require 'ein)

Thanks, sorry that was pseudocode. I had that in my `init.el`. I'm going to go ahead and try `ob-ipython` because apparently it has better integration with `org-mode` anyways. – Adam Thompson Apr 28 '16 at 20:47

This works out of the box with the new package on Emacs 25 and above.

Usage

Install from MELPA. For manual install, put Emacs lisp ein*.el files and Python file ein.py in your load path. See online documentation for more information.

Start the Jupyter notebook server.

(Optional) Newer versions of Jupyter have token authentication_ enabled by default so you will need to call M-x ein:notebooklist-login and enter the token as the password.

Execute M-x ein:notebooklist-open to open notebook list.
