Hello!

I am trying to run a Jupyter notebook like so:

```julia
 using IJulia; notebook(detached=true)

```

and find that my kernel for Julia 10 is not being recognized or located.

On my system running `which Julia` gives me `/usr/local/bin/julia` as installed by `Homebrew`.

Is there a way to let `IJulia` work out where to look for its Julia kernel?

`IJulia` gives me the following info and I note the line `"_=/usr/local/bin/Julia"` which is exactly where it would find it. But the `_` seems odd. Any less much appreciated:

```julia

Thr Homebrew install of Julia is not well supported here. You might need to ask Homebrew. Let me see what I can find.

Actually this did the trick: @mkitti
