The first three errors appear to be due to the instructional nature of the notebooks. For instance, for the two errors where mplotbottom is undefined, a comment nearby says the user ought to fill in the variable with a value. I've created issue #47 to address this problem in presentation/documentation.

The final error is fixed by using version 0.10.1.dev1 from HARK on higher, so essentially a duplicate of #39.

Closing this now - thanks @thedatalass!
