Kernel startup failures (unable to run any cell)

[DonJayamanne]

Jupyter Kernels can fail to start for a number of reasons (making it impossible to run a single cell). Majority of these failures can be attributed to one or more of the following conditions:

• Missing dependencies
• Misconfigured or corrupted Python environment
• Incorrectly installed Python packages
• Incompatible Python packages
• Some times, but rarely caused by bugs in Python packages used by Jupyter
• Unsupported version of Python or OS (its possible the version of Python is still new and the packages haven't been udpated to support these new versions)

The following link to the WIKI provides more information about this and possible solutions to these issues.
