How to resolve “Could not determine JupyterLab build status without Node.js” error?

I am seeing this error in the terminal: “Could not determine JupyterLab build status without Node.js,” even though the latest version of Node.js is installed on my PC. How can I fix this issue?

Sometimes, the error may occur due to a bad installation. Try reinstalling JupyterLab to ensure it’s correctly configured.

pip uninstall jupyterlab
pip install jupyterlab

Just to add to @sam.aarun you must also ensure that Node.js is installed properly and is accessible by checking its version:

node --version

If the version is not showing up, reinstall Node.js.

If Node.js is correctly installed, but the issue persists, manually build JupyterLab’s dependencies:

jupyter lab build

This should trigger the build process and resolve the “Could not determine JupyterLab build status without Node.js” error.
