[yt-users] Error in Executing yt Commands

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Can you explain a little bit more what's going wrong with the
miniconda-based installation?

Unfortunately none of us have been able to reproduce the issue you're
having with the install script and since it has something to do with
matplotlib, I don't think any of us would know off-hand how to fix it
in-place.

Debugging issues like this over a mailing list is always potentially a
frustrating experience, I'm sorry we haven't been able to come up with a
suitable solution so far.
