How can I safely install Jupyter / IPython 4 over a conda installation?

Question

IPython 4 is out! And I'm keen to try it. But I am running iPython under conda.

Before conda adds version 4 to its repository, is there a safe way to install IPython 4 manually?

I tried:

pip install --upgrade jupyter

and it corrupted my installation. Any ideas?

It should be safe to conda uninstall ipython and then pip install jupyter into your environment. — Thomas K

For me, similar to what Thomas mentioned in his comments, the following worked

conda update conda
conda uninstall ipython
conda install jupyter

The first two steps may not be necessary, but better save than sorry.

It seems that my version (???) does not have uninstall option, so what I did was to use conda remove ipython instead. There is ??? there because during the process the whole conda broke down and now I cannot even use conda. I am now getting the following error: ImportError: No module named requests
