Unable to run jupyter notebook in a conda enviroment

Question

I am trying to run jupyter notebook from a conda environment.

This is what I am doing

conda create --name myenv
conda activate myenv
jupyter notebook

In this the browser open the page http://localhost:8888/tree/ but if I try to open a notebook I get this message

and the following error

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/share/jupyter/nbconvert/templates/html/conf.json'

Answer 1

Try to open the command prompt in the directory where you want to create your notebook by typing cmd in the address bar. This should help to avoid this error.

Answer 2

You could try changing the permission of those files manually as suggested on the nbconvert issue tracker . Go to /usr/locall/share/jupyter/ and run the following

# change the permissions on the directories to group, other read and execute
$ find ./ -type d -exec chmod go+rx {} \;enter code here

# change all the other files to group, other read
$ find ./ -type f -exec chmod  go+r {} \;
    
# change all the executables to group, other execute
$ find ./ -type f -perm -100 -exec chmod go+x {} \;
