Through homebrew, I have installed the python version 3.6.5_1. Then I realized that jupyter can be launched on 3.6 so I had to switch to python 3.7

When I launched jupyter the kernel is giving error as shown:

Traceback (most recent call last):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.7': '/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.7'

From my understanding, the kernel is looking for python version 3.7. It lists as:

$jupyter kernelspec list  

Available kernels:  

python3    /usr/local/etc/jupyter/kernels/python3

You need to check the kernel specifications:

$jupyter kernelspec list

The below command will show you the available kernel.

python3    /usr/local/etc/jupyter/kernels/python3 

Now the kernel.json file in the above directory and provide the path of the python you wanted the kernel to work.
