I just noticed that 9.5beta9 (perhaps earlier already?) requires changes to the installation guide:
some explicit paths are mentioned. These are now
local/var/lib/sage/venv-python3.9.9/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath/
rather than (what they were before): local/share/jupyter/kernels/sagemath
I suspect that with the venv-python3.9.9 labelling, this path will continue to need updating, so perhaps an alternative way of figuring out the appropriate path is preferred.
