jupyter lite CLI

✓ Run as shell command: 'jupyter lite init' or 'jupyter lite build'

✗ import jupyterlite

jupyterlite-core does not expose a Python module for import; use the CLI or call via subprocess.

Initialize, add packages, and build a JupyterLite site programmatically (using os.system for clarity). For CLI usage, run directly from terminal.

import os # Initialize a JupyterLite site os.system('jupyter lite init --site-dir ./public') # Add extra piplite packages exit_code = os.system('jupyter lite add --source-url https://... @jupyterlab/theme-light-extension') # Build the site os.system('jupyter lite build --site-dir ./public')

jupyterlite --version

Known issues

gotchajupyter lite add currently has limited support; not all JupyterLab extensions can be added. Check extension compatibility before assuming it works.

fix

Use jupyter lite add only for core-compatible extensions. Test in a staging environment.

affects: >=0.7.0,<0.8.0

gotchaCLI commands must be run from a directory containing a jupyter-lite.json config file, or you must specify --site-dir. Otherwise the command may fail or produce unexpected results.

fix

Run 'jupyter lite init --site-dir ./public' first, then all commands from that directory or with --site-dir.

affects: >=0.7.0

deprecatedThe 'jupyter lite build' command's --output-dir flag was renamed to --site-dir in v0.7.0. Using --output-dir still works but emits a deprecation warning.

fix

Use --site-dir instead of --output-dir.

affects: >=0.7.0
