Jupyter Lab extensions install problem in Ubuntu 16.04

See original GitHub issue

I installed node.js.

In terminal, jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager --debug leads to:

Errored, use --debug for full output:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/share/jupyter/lab/extensions'

Very oddly, when I try implementing sudo to give permissions, it says: sudo: jupyter: command not found Yet if I type in jupyter, the command is recognized!

I ran into something similar recently. I just had to chown the directory to reset the permissions.

sudo chown -hR {user} {dir}
