How to solve kernel error in Jupyter notebook? (win64)

Question

I am kinda new to Jupyter notebooks. I am getting a kernel error on the top right corner of the notebook (Python 3), also I can't run any code.

This is the error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

Please try out by creating a new conda environment. Create conda environment using the command :

conda create -n <env_name> -c intel python=3.6

Activate the environmemt using the command :

source activate <env_name>

Please install the required packages in this environment. Kindly install the ipykernal using the command:

conda install ipykernel
ipython kernel install --name <env_name> --user

Select the installed ipykernal from your jupyter notebook. Hope this helps.
