<div>when you said "<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,arial,freesans,clean,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:25px">just clone this repo into your IPython directory</span>"</div>
<div>the word "just" is kind of an involved process for the rest of us, </div><div>and the less i know about git the better, so by way of an old </div><div>fashioned pull request ~ <span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">adding something like the following </span></div>

By "just clone this into your IPython dir", I mean the following two steps are all you need to do:</div><div><br></div><div>cd `ipython locate` # usually ~/.ipython, this is called the "IPython directory"</div>
<div>git clone minrk/profile_jskernel</div>
<div><br></div><div>and you are done. If you don't have the hub wrapper for git, then the git url is slightly more verbose:</div><div><br></div><div>git clone <a href="https://github.com/minrk/profile_jskernel" target="_blank">https://github.com/minrk/profile_jskernel</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>After this, you can switch to the javascript kernel by starting IPython with:</div><div><br></div><div>ipython notebook --profile jskernel</div><div><br></div><div>The directions below edit the actual IPython source, which is what this profile is meant to avoid.</div>
