No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018-08-10, repository archived), and compatibility with modern Jupyter is unverified. Unless you are running a legacy Jupyter setup that matches the package's original environment, you should look for actively maintained alternatives or use Jupyter's native export features.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a working Jupyter installation; serverextension and nbextension commands must succeed for the download button to appear in the UI.
- Installation is straightforward, but the package is abandoned—last release was 2018-08-10 and the repository is archived.
- No updates have been made since then, so compatibility with modern Jupyter versions is uncertain.

What it is and what it does
nbzip is a Jupyter server extension that adds a download button to the notebook interface, allowing you to zip and download an entire folder from your Jupyter server in one action. It depends on notebook and pytest, and installs as a pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies.
The package is in Beta status and has been abandoned since 2018-08-10. While it was designed for Jupyter workflows where exporting entire directories is useful, its age means it may not work reliably with current Jupyter versions, and no fixes or updates are forthcoming.
Use it for
- Export an entire Jupyter notebook folder to share with collaborators or submit as coursework
- Back up all notebooks and supporting files from a Jupyter server in a single download
- Archive a complete project directory from Jupyter without manual file selection
