I tried to install this the other day.
I didn't get it working on my Linux machine, but you will definitely see some pull requests once I have time to fiddle with it. The electron version is a nice idea but I would prefer better instructions for installing the normal version. "This script will do it all" is not always helpful.

Thanks for the report. Yea it is not easy to install on linux unless you use the docker version. There are many dependencies and PPAs required in the script because it does everything.
We are working on better linux packing and distribution (see our issue tracker), but it is not easy to do it right, and it will take a while.
PRs very welcome!

FYI - I tried one of the Mac all in one downloads, and it looks promising. However, all I get are status messages saying that it is waiting for Python or R to initialize...

Thanks. We don't have an all-in-one download, you have to install Python or R separately. But if you already have them, it should just work if they are in your PATH, and that path is setup by .bash_profile? Did you install the required R packages? Do you have IPython (not just Python)? We can probably better debug this by email or as a github issue than in this forum.
you can code in multiple languages in your noteobook, and they can all communicate, making it easy to go from Python to R to JavaScript, seamlessly.
we just released v1.4 with all kind of new features, check it out: https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook/releases/tag/1.4...
