If you start jupyter notebook from cmd.exe, you can type this

  set OCTAVE_EXECUTABLE=C:\Octave\Octave-5.x.x.x\mingw64\bin\octave-cli.exe

before starting jupyter notebook.  Otherwise, you can try to set
"octave-cli.exe" to your PATH environment variable and to create a new
environment variable OCTAVE_EXECUTABLE with the value above.
