Make sure you have VirtualBox, Anaconda, and Ibis installed. Run
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudera/ibis-notebooks/master/setup/bootstrap.sh | bash
to download the ibis-notebooks repositories and the pre-built VirtualBox image to get you started.
Here's instructions for bootstrapping an Ibis environment, replete with the ability to use these IPython notebooks, from scratch.
First, download the Anaconda installer for your platform (this will even work on Windows):
http://continuum.io/downloads
Navigate to where this was downloaded and run something like
$ bash Anaconda-2.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
Do not use sudo. Accept the license. I recommend using $HOME/anaconda as the
installation folder.
$HOME/anaconda/bin needs to be added to your system path. You can let the
installer do this for you or do it yourself. Start a new shell and verify
you're running Anaconda Python:
$ ipython
Python 2.7.9 |Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit)| (default, Dec 15 2014, 10:33:51)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 2.2.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
Anaconda is brought to you by Continuum Analytics.

Now, time to install Ibis.
$ pip install ibis-framework
Or, if you have a git clone, run
$ python setup.py install
Now, you're in business. Fire up the IPython notebook here by writing:
$ ipython notebook
Start with the stuff in basic-tutorial. Assumes access to an Impala server
with the standard functional and TPC-H test datasets are available. You will
almost certainly need to change the connection details.
