[yt-users] Installing yt-dev

[Britton Smith]

Hi Libby,

If this is a machine which you have root access on, then you'll need to do
this as root or use sudo.  Otherwise, you won't be able to do it this way.
If that's the case, then I recommend doing a complete standalone install
using the install script on the front page of yt.enzotools.org.  This script
will make its own python, hdf5, etc that you will have write access to.

As for the README file, I don't know about that.
