title: Non-root jupyter notebook startup
body: <p>I recently got a new Macbook Pro (Sierra 10.12.3) and wanted to install anaconda. I downloaded the graphical installer from the conda website and ran it; I mistakenly selected the option to install in root (ie not just for a local user). The installation went fine and python ran without a hitch. However, when running <code>jupyter notebook</code> I was told "Permission denied". <code>sudo jupyter notebook</code> worked.</p>
  
  <p>Previously, I had been running an up-to-date conda and jupyter notebook on my previous laptop with Yosemite, and I had never had to <code>sudo</code> to run the notebook. As far as I've been told, letting programs (even trustworthy ones) run with root access should be avoided at all costs, so I wanted to try to fix this. </p>
  
  <p>I used anaconda-clean and then removed the conda directory, and re-installed it for the local user (so now it sits in <code>~/anaconda/</code> and not <code>//anaconda/</code>). All <code>conda</code> commands now work without <code>sudo</code> <em>except</em> the jupyter notebook, which <em>still</em> requires <code>sudo jupyter notebook</code> or else it throws the same "Permission denied" error.</p>
  
  <p>How do I solve this and enable the jupyter notebook to start up without root access? I do not know if this is a related issue, but the notebook starts up in Safari despite my default system browser being set to Chrome. Any help will be appreciated!</p>
