Does Jupyterlab Desktop bundle a python binary with it? So user don't need to install python.

@Imoh-mfon you can follow the instructions here to create a conda environment on your computer. After creating the environment, make sure to restart JupyterLab Desktop. If it was installed in common locations, the environment will be discovered otherwise you can select the environment (the path to python.exe in the environment directory) from the UI.

If you followed these steps, please share the error message you are receiving.

@linonetwo yes, JupyterLab Desktop bundles a Python environment and users are recommended to start with that environment.
