Thanks for reporting this issue. I've tried to reproduce the problem on an Ubuntu 14.04 and I can't. Please, can you post the steps to reproduce it?
I'd like to undertand why ijs can't create the file kernel.json in folder /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ijavascript/spec/javascript/.

Sry. Actually using OSX which might be the problem. I will try on an Ubuntu distro and report back.

This is issue has made realise that I should use a temporary folder to create the kernel spec folder for Jupyter.

I'm very surprised no other OSX users have reported this issue before.

[Qtrain]

Cool. Thx for looking into this. I'm really interested in using this. Pls let me know if you come up with a new install for OSX.

[n-riesco]

I will some time this week.

In the meantime, installaling ijavascript locally should work on OSX: ``` $ npm install ijavascript $ node_modules/.bin/ijs ```

@Qtrain Please, reopen this issue if the problem is still present in OSX. Thanks again.
