I tried to install Jupyter Notebook on Julia via Pkg and it not working.  
I’m using windows 10 home, and guess that it is happening cause of the user name of my folder, which is “João Paulo”. I tried change it setting a USERPROFILE environment variable as “C:\home” and HOME as “c:\home”. But it didn’t, tested it on julia versions 1.1.0 e 1.0.3. On 1.0.3 is showing this message

```julia

Can you run

```julia
C:\Users\João Paulo\.julia\conda\3\Scripts\jupyter.exe

```

from CMD.exe?

The charset is making all the trouble,  
C:\Users\João Paulo.julia\conda\3\Scripts\> ./conda install qt -v  
Unable to create process using ‘C:\Users\JoÒo Paulo.julia\conda\3\python.exe “C:\Users\JoÒo Paulo.julia\conda\3\Scripts\conda-script.py” install qt -v’

Tough to say what is going on: you don’t appear to even have python installed?

Yes, i have, but the script is searching in wrong directory because of charset is wrong. My directory name is “João Paulo” and not “JoÒo Paulo”

I tried to install miniconda manually and it says that space in my name will cause issues, there’s anyway to choose where miniconda and it’s packages will be installed on julia? If not will i need to create another user to use julia?

Wow, that’s pretty bad in 2019.

Perhaps try this:

1. delete the `C:\Users\João Paulo\.julia\conda` directory
2. run the following from Julia

```julia
ENV["CONDA_JL_HOME"] = "C:\conda" # or some other path
using Pkg
pkg"build Conda"

```
