> Hmmm… Looks like the actual problem is that IJulia won’t work unless it’s installed in the global environment, ie `(v1.1)` . If it is installed in a Project _only_ , it seems to fail to start the kernel.

If you want to run it in particular project, you can do so but you need to [install a custom kernel specification](https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl#installing-additional-julia-kernels) that passes `--project=....` when it launches `julia`.
