When I run the code to copy the `profiles.yml` file to the `.dbt` folder of the project, I get an error stating that the file cannot be found. I have tried to reboot the lab, but it has not helped. What should I do in this case?

Hello @Thacy  
Looks like your working directory has been `~` instead of `project/`. Run `cd project` first, and then run the copy command. Please, let us know if it still doesn’t work.
