Setup Instructions about guru HOT 3 OPEN

Guru uses a version of the notebook code from Sage that has been modified to not depend on the rest of Sage. When you added your Sage site-packages directory to the path, you essentially pointed Guru to an unmodified version of the notebook code, and that's what's causing your problem.

To get a working app, what you really want is the Guru-NB project, https://github.com/rljacobson/Guru-NB. It should have all it's dependencies included (though honestly it might not). You shouldn't need to monkey with the site-packages. Just cd to the Guru-NB directory and run python Guru.py. When you create your first worksheet, it should prompt you to identify the location of your Sage installation. Be patient when executing your first command on your first notebook, as it takes a bit of time for Sage to start.

You're welcome to hack away at this project, but I have actually suspended my own work on Guru after conversations with Sage/SageMathCloud's lead developer. The SageMathCloud (SMC) notebook interface was recently open-sourced, and I think it makes much more sense to use SMC as a basis for a standalone notebook interface than it does to use the old Sage Notebook as Guru currently does.

Two packages namely Jinja2 and markupsafe were missing from the site-packages directory. I added those and ran Guru but got this :/

[1]    5650 segmentation fault (core dumped)  python Guru.py

Sorry for the delayed response.

That is an unfortunate failure. Doesn't give us much to go on. My guess at this point is that there's a problem with your pyside installation. I am not sure how to advise you at this point. If you figure out the problem, please come back and let me know.
