Running jupyter lab in my own virtual environment - Permission error in tutorial

[AngCamp]

I need to run a notebook in an environment which uses a custom data loading python module, this is the module here . I am following the jupyterlab tutorial for compute canada clusters here

But when I try to run this line

echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nunset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR\njupyter lab --ip $(hostname -f) --no-browser' > $allensdkenv/bin/jupyterlab.sh

I get the following error...

(allensdkenv) (base) [angcamp@cdr2688 angcamp]$ echo -e '#!/bin/bash\nunset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR\njupyter lab --ip $(cdr2688 -f) --no-browser' > $allensdkenv/bin/jupyterlab.sh
bash: /bin/jupyterlab.sh: Permission denied

I think my hostname may be wrong but also this permission error is unexpected, how can I run a jupyternotebook in an environment I create myself?

@AngCamp Please write to support : https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/Technical_support You can also use one of the already available hub on the systems : https://docs.alliancecan.ca/wiki/JupyterHub You must change the executable bit on your file as done in the previous step.

I'm not sure if this exists for virtualenv but there is this option for conda which adds a widget to the notebook which allows a user to select which environment to run a notebook in: https://medium.com/@jy.wong.xeron/managing-jupyter-notebooks-and-conda-environments-6b8c627e0c2f#3fa3

This is for conda which I know is frowned upon by compute canada but just as a suggestion there may something similar for virtualenv.

@AngCamp If you encounter any issues, please write to support. Conda is indeed an humonguous issue on the systems. In all cases, you can do the same thing in a standard python virtual environment.

But the tutorial you have provided to do this is in virtualenv is not working....

Why not just answer on github? It's easier to share code and it's more convenient than using an email thread.
