hi, I've had this issue on two different linux machines, when installing the server thanks for any help.

This seemed to work:

Thanks for reporting. If you you have some spare time, would you mind adding this info to the wiki under github.com/jupyter-incubator/dashboards_server? Thanks!

Hi Peter, I was wondering when you think all of this installation and running will stabilize? It would be great if it was a bit easier to install and use. I've had to switch to shiny since that seems very robust and functional, but I would prefer python/jupyter. best

@galenwilkerson The installation of the dashboard extension has no issues and is stable. If you're talking about jupyter-incubator/dashboards_server project, that's a different story.

I'm currently spending my open source contribution cycles on bringing jupyter/dashboards and jupyter/kernelgateway up to speed to work with the impending release of notebook 5.0. I'm also not super positive on the future of the dashboard_server project (clarifying: not jupyter dashboards in general, just that repository) given how far it is lagging behind the jupyterlab version it uses, how the upcoming ipywidgets 6.0 release is likely to be incompatible with it, and the high likelihood that jupyterlab will desire / require a different design.

Thanks Peter, good to know. I need a standalone web dashboard (no python code/access), so as far as I understand, need the dashboard server (unless another option is available).

I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work, so it could be helpful to make the status more evident to other potential server users. Good work though, I know this is a lot to do.
