Installation to set up a new gnuplot icon on the Jupyter Notebook launch page.

First, install Python package

hubpip install gnuplot_kernel

Then each user will need to run the following command in the terminal app:

python -m gnuplot_kernel install --user

The last command installs a kernel spec file for the current Python installation. This is the file that allows you to choose a Jupyter kernel in a notebook. Next need to download the gnuplot source code here. To compile:

./configure --without-qt --prefix=/home/.hub_local
make 
make install

Not sure how leaving qt out will affect it. Otherwise will need to build new image with qt-dev installed.
