Jupyter notebook is not opening

Question

I have installed anaconda package and my pc has already one package installed "root(data analysis package)". So after installing anaconda I wanted to open jupyter notebook so I type "jupyter-notebook" in the terminal but somehow I am getting following error.

Could you please provide me a solution for this? Thanks.

I could not find any solution in google for this.

Answer 1

After a glimpse at the error Message,
You seem not to have access to /opt/root/6.26.10-install/etc/notebook/migrated
How did you install the anaconda? (globally or on root?)

since you are currently running as user "souvik" Try running:

sudo jupyter-notebook --allow-root

Then post back the results.

In case the above command started jupypter-notebook successfully,
we can change the ownership of /opt/root/6.26.10-install/etc/notebook/from rootto you (souvik) using chown.
