I am trying to install jupyterlab extensions such as flake8 but cannot do any of that. I am able to install on the server side via pip but cannot install the client side extension. I go to the extension manager on the left, search for the extension (jupyterlab-flake8) and press "install" and then get
"Error communicating with server extension. Consult the documentation for how to ensure that it is enabled.
Reason given:
Error: 500 (Internal Server Error)"
Any input into this would be very helpful.
I have ensured that I have installed jupyterlab and flake8 via pip through the terminal but I am not able to install this extension through the extension manager on jupyterlab.
