[IPython-dev] Jupyter Hub Doc Issue

[John Omernik]

After more research (not in the jupyter docs) I realized that the link
Wes provided actually contradicts the Jupyter Hub documentation. Hence
why I posted. For anyone having issues with the Jupyter Docs, you
nodejs-legacy doesn't work on Ubuntu 12.04, so you have to add the PPA
in the link Wes provided.  However then, there is a note about apt-get
install npm, which will not work with the PPA Wes provided, because of
a version conflict and because npm is included in the nodejs package
from Wes' link.

Wes: Appreciate the reply, but I think the documentation could use
some work, and throwing links at people who ask questions based on the
current documentation may produce more frustration especially when the
links you provide don't line up with the documentation the user is
trying to install.  I am not upset, I am just pointing out that some
users may get frustrated (I am not one of those, but I have worked
with many like that).

Thanks!

John
