Ijavascript kernel will not start on jupyter-desktop #259

Posted the above issue (many details there) on the jupyterlab-desktop repo but perhaps here is a better place to ask. Should this be expected to work?

Judging by the error message: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ijskernel', it looks like your installation of jupyter-desktop doesn't include ijskernel in its PATH.

I guess you've used ijsinstall to install the kernelspec for IJavascript. If that's the case, a quick workaround is to install the kernelspec with full paths, like this:

ijsinstall --spec-path=full

:pray: This worked for me with jupyter desktop version 3.2.4-3

Happy to close or leave open for documentation as you prefer

I should add a troubleshooting section to the README. I've just opened #260 to keep track of solutions to common problems.
