Stefan, If I understand correctly, you installed Jupyter and other tools you need using Anaconda on the computer you are working on. If you launch Jupyter from a command line, you need to make sure that you are in a directory that is above any directories you need to access in your directory structure. For example. If you want to access stuff in <your home>/Documents/Datasets. You should make sure your command line is running in <your home> or <your home>/Documents. So I would open your terminal and issue the following commands: ``` $ cd <path-to-your home> $ jupyter notebook ``` Then when Jupyter opens up in your browser you should be able to navigate to the Datasets directory.
