[yt-users] yt installation sans wget

[Luigi Iapichino]

Hi Elisabeth,

I had the same problem, namely I have yt on a machine that does not allow 
Internet access, outside a number of allowed IPs. My solution was to mount 
the yt directory remotely on my local (and allowed) PC using sshfs. 
Afterwards I run the install_script, using alternatively my PC for 
downloading the needed libraries, and the other machine for compiling. The 
install_script is not exactly thought for this use, but with some effort and 
patience it worked; even more important, now I can update my installation 
with bugfixes and additions, whenever they are available (it's also a bit 
lengthy, but it works).

If you like this solution, I can provide you the details.

Cheers,

  Luigi
