[yt-users] installation issues

[Shankar Agarwal]

Hi Cameron,

There are many yt versions that point to:

wget http://hg.yt-project.org/yt/raw/stable/doc/install_script.sh

http://yt-project.org/docs/2.5/orientation/installing.html
http://yt-project.org/docs/3.1/installing.html

You are right that the above downloads an index.html.

Anyway, the new link you gave me, works well (although I had to use
--no-check-certificate):
wget http://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/raw/stable/doc/install_script.sh
--no-check-certificate


However, installation failed with a pyexpat error:
