[yt-users] matplotlib backend install

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Samyeong,

We're working on a general purpose, portable (ana)conda-based yt
installation method.  Before we figure out how that will work, you should
be able to build yt based on one of the conda recipes here:

https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt_conda/

Clone this repository (hg clone https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt_conda/)
and then navigate to the root directory of the repo. To obtain a working yt
build, you'll need to run 'conda build yt' or 'conda build yt-dev`. The yt
recipe will build yt 2.5.5 and the yt-dev recipe will build the current tip
of the yt mercurial repository on bitbucket.

Once the build finishes successfully, you can install the conda package by
running `conda install <package_tarball>` where <package_tarball> is the .
tar.bz archive that conda will print the path for once `conda build`
finishes.  This is a bit experimental, so it's possible you'll run into
issues.  If you do, please let us know as this will help us figure out how
we want to use conda for distributing yt going forward.

Cheers,

Nathan
