nbpresent button not showing after install (OSX 10.11.5, Anaconda 4.2.9, nbpresent 3.0.2, Python 2.7.12)

I had the same issue using Mac OS 10.12.6, running notebook server 5.0.0 with Python 3.6.1 and Anaconda 4.4.0.

I read and fiddled around a lot and finally got it working. For the initial installation I used

conda install -c conda-forge nbpresent
and also
conda install nbpresent

on top of it - neither brought up the buttons to edit or show the slides.

After two days of unsuccessfully trying things I installed RISE, a "live" Reveal.js Jupyter/IPython Slideshow Extension using
conda install -c damianavila82 rise

See https://github.com/damianavila/RISE for more information.

Restarting the notebook server I could now build slideshows using Reveal/RISE and run them with an associated new button next to all the other ones. Still, the nbpresent buttons to edit or show the slides were missing, though.

After reading the instructions to enable an extension on
http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extending/frontend_extensions.html#installing-and-enabling-extensions I ran the following on the command line:

jupyter nbextension enable nbpresent --py
which apparently does the same as
jupyter nbextension enable nbpresent/js/nbpresent.min

I know that @linwoodc3 has mentioned and run the first command, also I see it the yaml configuration files for nbpresent, i.e. I would have expected them to be run during installation anyway. In other words, I am not sure why running them manually made a difference for me.

I do not know, if installing RISE changed something in the configuration and I do not want to redo all the steps to test it.

Both commands above add the following to the configuration file notebook.json, which is in the folder ~/.jupyter/nbconfig on my machine.

{
    ...
    "load_extensions": {
    ...
    "nbpresent/js/nbpresent.min": true
  },
  ...
}

Anyway, I now have all the nbpresent buttons. Good luck to all of you (@linwoodc3, @R-Broadley, @jaknap32, @AmokHuginnsson).
