[yt-users] Fwd: YT fails at start

[Matthew Turk]

Hi John,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!  When you first tried running,
did you source the environment file that yt creates?  I believe for
your environment it would be something like this:

source /home/cosmos/users/jr347/2013/YT/yt-x86_64/bin/activate

which would set the various environment variables and so on.  Then you
can try doing something simple like "yt help" to see if it will import
correctly.

Thanks,

-Matt
