Did you by any chance try using the Anaconda Python distribution?

I'm sorry you had such a hard time getting this installed.

It's a little hard for me to diagnose the problem as you have changed the context quite a bit. But if you were using the pip installation instructions and having trouble with the build, it's probably because I should have specified starting a new virtual env with a particular Python version to begin with.

Does that sound right to you? If so I'll make a ticket.

Again, thanks so much for your interest in this project. I'll support your work however I'm able.

best regards,
Seb

Hi all,

After a lot of trying and going back and forth, reinstalling everything
I needed with pip2, I found out that what the actual problem was: for
4.0 and above one needs to install the notebook app seperately by doing:

$ pip install jupyter.

Seem to BigBang working now in a virtual machine, so if someone is going
through same issues as me am happy to share an image.

Cheers,

Niels
