I am trying to run a Jupyter Notebook with Julia in a new environment. I created a new environment called ocean1. I then add the IJulia by typing add IJulia. Then to open IJulia in that environment I enter IJulia \>\> notebook(). Then Jupyter notebook opens and I navigate to where I have existing Julia notebooks, but when I open them they are blank. I then tried creating a new folder in the folder where my environment is located (ocean1), which I named test. I then tried creating a new notebook. A new notebook appears but it is blank and I cannot add anything to it. Here is a picture of the blank notebook. Note that when I open the notebook from outside the environment it works. Any help with this would be appreciated.

You change into your new environment(with: “cd”) and activate it ?  
i.e.
