Cannot open new Jupyter Notebook [Permission Denied]

Question

I have installed Jupyter Notebook on ubuntu 16.04 using pip3. I can execute jupyter notebook command. It opens and shows a list of current path directories.

Answer 1

In my opinion, it is a good practice to run Jupyter in a dedicated workbook folder.

$ mkdir jupyter_folder
$ jupyter-notebook --notebook-dir jupyter_folder

where 'jupyter_folder' is a folder in my home.

This method work without permission issue.
