It was definitely a pain to get it running in the previous version on OSX, but entirely worthwhile. It's a really nice system that can replace mathematica and matlab for a lot of the work I do. In case this helps, here are the instructions that I ended up following to get the previous version running on OSX (using homebrew as my main package manager): brew install zeromq brew install qt (add the following to .bash_profile): export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH Download SIP 4.13 and PyQt4 from [1] and install with: python configure.py make make install Then do: easy_install pygments easy_install tornado easy_install ipython[zmq,test] easy_install --upgrade ipython (from within ipython): from IPython.external.mathjax import install_mathjax install_mathjax() [1] http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/sip/download http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/sip/download
