Jupyter-notebook fails to install in ATOM

[OrbitalMechanic]

I'm attempting to install the Jupyter-notebook in ATOM (version 1.45.0). ATOM is running on a Mac Pro (2019) under Mac OS X ver. 10.15.4 (Catalina). The output from the attempted installation follows.

Installing package jupyter-notebook failed Error: Installing “[email protected]” failed.

I have the same issue. It seems it begins with the python interpreter not being the recommended (>= v2.5.0 & < 3.0.0.) but Python 2.7 is now out of use?
