instructions on how to install ijulia kernel for julia 1.2

[shanecandoit]

The given instructions say to enter:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("IJulia")

That did not work for me. Using julia 1.2 these steps worked

1. type "julia" to start julia repl
2. I had to enter '']" to get the "pkg>" prompt.
3. then enter add "IJulia"
4. then I could restart my jupyter notebook and julia worked

usually I need to do build IJulia to see the kernel in jupyter

This can probably be closed?

Yes, though the above situation could happen if the kernel was deleted and then IJulia was added again since the build step only runs automatically the very first time the package is installed (in a depot?).
