IJava kernel failing to connect

[dk0913]

I have installed the Ijava kernel but when I try to switch the kernel in my notebook from python3 to Java it fails to connect every time. I am using jupyter Notebook with anaconda3, Here is the error I get when I try to connect to the java kernel:
"Error: could not open KERNEL_INSTALL_DIRECTORY@/ijava-1.3.0.jar' [I 11:01:25.029 NotebookApp] Kernel started: 30d3292d-826a-4ab4-8313-058aadc18507, name: java [I 11:01:28.030 NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel (1/5), new random ports Error: could not open KERNEL_INSTALL_DIRECTORY@/ijava-1.3.0.jar'

Any help is much appreciated

I double checked that the Ijava-1.3.0.jar file is in the directory, the .json file is there too

I also got an installation failure with the same error in windows 10

Did any of you solve this? I might have a similar issue with Google Colab
