Hi everyone,
This might be a real hot take, but I'd like to propose getting rid of the
install script. Below are a few reasons I think this is a good idea:
- yt can be reliably installed straight from pip or conda. Even installing
from source can be done reliably with "pip install -e ." assuming you have
pip. This has all been true for quite some time.
- The install script needs to be maintained. It's currently 718 lines long,
still has options for installing mercurial, rockstar, etc.
I will happily back down if anyone feels particularly attached to it, but I
think the combination of the above two points makes it more trouble than
it's worth.
Comments encouraged!
