Anaconda Jupyter Lab on Remote Server: Permission Error

The error is the following: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/ubuntu/.jupyter/jupyter_no tebook_config.json'

Related Questions are : Jupyter notebook permission error Could not install packages due to a "Environment error :[error 13]: permission denied : 'usr/local/bin/f2py'"

Machine - Ubuntu 16.04, Conda installed.

I get that I don't have root on this remote server - But perhaps I can have root if I use the right command.

Note the jupyter lab command is trying to access a non conda install of jupyter lab (config file /home/ubuntu/.jupyter). I want to access the conda install from the folder anaconda 3 installation- see the full error for reference. Any suggestions/ideas would be most welcome and will receive a surprising number of hail marys. Thanks for looking.Alternatively, maybe I can find some way to point jupyter -lab to the conda config.

Update:

So I just tried jupyter notebook instead , and that worked but does not show me the token just three dots in a strangely mysterious fashion... (yes exactly like that)

Try to remove this folder and check. Sometimes this solves the permission issue

'/Users/ArcherWoo/.jupyter

Also, Try to Run jupyter from a subdirectory and not the root of your home directory.

Add don't forget to give permissions chmod 777 to the directory
