I'm working on a remote machine using SSH login. When trying to open the jupyter notebook in the virtual environment called balancing_selection, using the following command:

jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port=8887

I get the following error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/homap/miniconda3/envs/balancing_selection/bin/jupyter-notebook", line 11, in <module>
        sys.exit(main())

      File "/home/homap/miniconda3/envs/balancing_selection/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tornado/netutil.py", line 174, in bind_sockets
        sock.bind(sockaddr)
    OSError: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address

How could I solve this issue?

You may need to specify the IP of your localhost (VM)

jupyter-notebook --no-browser --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=8887

or

jupyter-notebook --no-browser --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8887  # all interfaces on host

It's also possible that your /etc/hosts file has localhost set incorrectly. The localhost should be pointed to the IPv4 address, and IPv6 should be created as a separate entry for the IPv6 loopback.

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain    localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6  localhost6
