I get this error whenever I try to launch Hadoop. I have already configured the files needed to launch it but I get:

$ hdfs namenode -format
WARNING: /home/jeunesseafricaine/hadoop-3.3.1/logs does not exist. Creating.
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/jeunesseafricaine/hadoop-3.3.1/logs’: Permission denied
ERROR: Unable to create /home/jeunesseafricaine/hadoop-3.3.1/logs. Aborting.
