Problem with launching Jupyter notebook in Windows

New to Julia

Hi,

I wanted to launch a jupyter notebook using IJulia. After adding IJulia as a package, I tried notebook(). It asks permission to install Jupyter via Conda.
It throws the following error about permission being denied.

notebook()
install Jupyter via Conda, y/n? [y]: y
[ Info: Running `conda install -y jupyter` in root environment

Would be happy for any help. I am using Julia 1.6.1 and IJulia v1.23.1

For the record, faced the same issues here, while following JuliaCon2021 DataFrames.jl Tutorial instructions.

Problem solved by installing Jupyter from the windows PowerShell:

pip install notebook
jupyter notebook

Locating the path for the jupyter.exe and setting the ENV[“JUPYTER”] as per IJulia installation instructions.

Thanks a lot. I havent checked it out on my windows machine yet. In the meantime just using Linux, so will definitely get back when I get to the other one.

Hi thanks a lot I think that problem is solved. But if I run any packages from the note book it shows a related error still saying Permission denied. Putting the error code from the jupyter notebook.

And cant really use any packages in the notebook. I am thankful for any further help.

It seems to be related to this issue, but sorry, have very limited knowledge on this matter to be of further help.
