Let \(F(k,n)\) be the topological space of configurations of \(k\) labelled points in \(\mathbb R^n\). The topological complexity and the Lusternik--Schnirelmann category of \(F(k,n)\) were calculated, respectively, in [\textit{M. Farber} and \textit{M. Grant}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 137, No. 5, 1841--1847 (2009; Zbl 1172.55006)] and [\textit{F. Roth}, Geom. Topol. Monogr. 13, 447--461 (2008; Zbl 1145.55003)]. The authors give more simple and direct calculations of the above-mentioned invariants.
