Hi,

I’m running a TLJH on a remote server.  
Everything works quite fine except that the environments I created don’t show up in the browser.  
I used the following command to create the environment:

```auto
sudo -E conda create -n flo -c conda-forge python=3.6 ipykernel

```

When I check the environments `sudo -E conda env list`, the new environment is in the list.  
However, there is no option to start a notebook with the new kernel.  
(I restarted the hub, and I also restarted the machine… nothing worked)

What can I do to find the solution?

Infos:  
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS  
JupyterHub version 1.5.0  
Python 3.9.7

tljh-config:

```auto
users:
  admin:
  - xxx
https:
  enabled: true
  tls:
    key: xxx
    cert: xxx
user_environment:
  default_app: jupyterlab
services:
  cull:
    timeout: 259200
    max_age: 0

```

Jupyter doesn’t list kernels from other envs by default. You can either register them explicitly:

```bash
/path/to/env/bin/python -m ipykernel install --prefix /path/to/user/env

```

or you can install a package like `nb_conda_kernels` into the user env, which attempts to discover kernels in envs automatically.

Thanks a lot @minrk . I installed the `nb_conda_kernels` into the base environment and restarted the server.  
Now every environment is finally displayed!

hi,

Can you please share the codes here?

Also a minor thing, I miss then a “terminal” for that kernel.

No sure @mupsje , what you mean with ‘codes’, but you can install packages in the TLJH terminal like:

`sudo -E conda install -n environment_name -c conda-forge package_name`

_environment\_name_ = `base`  
_package\_name_ = `nb_conda_kernels`

Hi, what I mean is,

I would like to have a extra clean Python 3.8.10 Environment.  
What do I need to do for this?  
I see allot of noise on the internet.  
And then I see this thread.  
Thanks for the patciense
