Trying to open up kdb on Jupyter notebook

I'm running this on MAC. I go to terminal window and type Jupiter notebook...Jupyter Notebook opens up but the kernel cant be established. Tried switching in Change kernel but this hasn't helped. NB its fine when I switch the kernel to python but fails for kdb 

Error msg in Terminal window is as such 

[I 19:30:27.414 NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel (3/5), new random ports

Hi Krisan,

It looks like there could be a problem with the python path that you're using.

Could you check if embedPy is working correcting by loading p.q in a q terminal and running the following commands?

```
$q
...
q)\l p.q
q) p)print(2+2)
q).p.import`builtins
```
Could you also provide the versions of embedpy, jupyterq, kdb and python that you are using. This can be found by running the following code:

```
conda list "embedpy|jupyterq|kdb|python"
```

Thanks,
Diane
