Hi Mehrdad,

the package you installed is not GRASS GIS. Install GRASS GIS using
whatever is appropriate for your platform (e.g. using apt install grass on
Ubuntu, but ideally after connecting PPA in this case). Then there is
couple of approaches how to use GRASS GIS with Jupyter. The one I prefer is
starting Jupyter Notebook and than starting GRASS GIS from there:
