[firedrake] problems with notebook

[Francis Poulin]

This looks like the Firedrake virtualenv was not activated when you tried this.  Could you try activating it first and then doing so (the ipython you want is the one in the virtualenv.  For example, for me, I have:

$ ipython --version
5.2.2

I seem to get one version lower and a bit, 4.2.0, but it is pointing to the correct ipython.

(firedrake) fpoulin at fpoulin-Gazelle:~/Research/2015-Ben_Storer/Firedrake$ ipython --version
4.2.0
(firedrake) fpoulin at fpoulin-Gazelle:~/Research/2015-Ben_Storer/Firedrake$ which ipython
/home/fpoulin/software/firedrake/bin/ipython

And

$ ipython kernel install -h
usage: ipython-kernel-install [-h] [--user] [--name NAME]
                              [--display-name DISPLAY_NAME]
                              [--profile PROFILE] [--prefix PREFIX]
                              [--sys-prefix]

Then I don't seem to be able to do the kernel install, see below.
