Title: Explain common issues where Axes fails silently

I have a couple of times had this issue where I installed axes and it didn't work, and it wasn't immediately clear why. There wasn't a closed issue either.

Stack overflow had the answer, so I have copied it here, to save others the hassle of finding it. Hope it's ok.
