[yt-users] yt on cygwin?

Hi Eve,

If you are unable to get python working - unfortunately I can't help with cygwin - you should be able to put a version of linux on a usb disk, boot from it, and install yt on the usb disk.  This will noninvasively give you a full unix environment that the yt install script should have no problem handling.  This will only work if you have a > 4 GB usb stick, anything smaller will probably not have enough space for linux and yt.

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick for instructions on creating a bootable ubuntu USB stick.

Hope you find a good solution before the workshop!

-Nathan
