 ```
+cd    # switch to your home directory, see note below

+Juypter and you will only be able to access files and folders that are children of it. 
+Using the home directory via `cd` will give you most flexibility, but you can also start 
+the jupyter server in any directory where you already have notebooks downloaded.
