         "PDF format not available" when trying to export to pdf.
 
     The browser can't find the command 'ps2pdf' which is usually
     found in /usr/bin/ps2pdf and is installed with the 'ghostscript'

+# Adding a track hub to your hubPublic table so it appears under My Data > Track Hubs
+
+By default, your browser mirror only comes with our public hubs. You may want
+to remove these and replace them with the hubs in your institution. One idea
+could be to have one hub per research group or department and users connect to them on
+My Data > Track Hubs.
+
+Use hubPublicCheck to create the SQL command to add the hub:
+
+    hubPublicCheck hubPublic -addHub=https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/hubDirectory/hub.txt
+
+Output is:
+
+    insert into hubPublic (hubUrl,descriptionUrl,shortLabel,longLabel,registrationTime,dbCount,dbList) values ("https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/examples/hubDirectory/hub.txt","", "My Hub's Name", "Name up to 80 characters versus shortLabel limited to 17 characters", now(),1, "hg19,"); 
+
+Then we run hubCrawl to get the searches to work (most mirrors do not need this). See <https://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/genecats/index.php/Public_Hub_QA> for more details.
