"""Download and install MathJax for offline use.
You can use this to install mathjax to a location on your static file
path. This includes the `static` directory within your IPython profile,
which is the default location for this install.
MathJax is a ~15MB download, and ~150MB installed.
Parameters
----------
replace : bool [False]
Whether to remove and replace an existing install.
tag : str ['v2.0']
Which tag to download. Default is 'v2.0', the current stable release,
but alternatives include 'v1.1' and 'master'.
dest : path
The path to the directory in which mathjax will be installed.
The default is `IPYTHONDIR/profile_default/static`.
dest must be on your notebook static_path when you run the notebook server.
The default location works for this.
