+       docker run -v `pwd`:/io -d -p 30008:8888 fidimag/notebook
 
    This will start a notebook server. You can see it in your browser at
 http://localhost:30008/ on Linux, or http://192.168.99.100:30008/ on Mac (you may
 need to change this IP address if your docker VM is at a different address).
 
 To run a shell instead of the notebook server, run:
