Description

I'm using 0.8.0, with Hortonworks. I had been unable to get ipython to work. The logs are not helpful. The ipython just exits, status 1.

It turns out I was missing protobuf, a requirement that is not documented.

The copy in master checks for ipykernel, jupyter-client, ipython, grpcio, and protobuf, and warns if they aren't present. The 0.8.0 version does not, at least not for protobuf. 

However a prominent warning in the documentation would help a lot.
