Hi Stephen,
You should be able to use the unmodified version of rockstar. Matt's modifications allow you to add a halo 'field' per se that can compute a halo quantities that Rockstar doesn't normally compute. I haven't used this version, and the unmodified Rockstar works fine for me thus far.
However, I don't think we ever added a Rockstar installation option to the install script, despite the docs text. Does Rockstar without modification work for you?

Hi all,
I am trying to explore the rockstar halo finder within yt following the text Chris Moody added to the docs:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt-doc/src/eb3c3f1f7552/source/analysis_mo...
The instructions include downloading a patched version of rockstar from this link:
https://bitbucket.org/MatthewTurk/rockstar
which gives me a "permission denied" message. I've poked around in yt, and I don't think that the rockstar code is replicated in there. Are the instructions wrong, or are the permissions incorrect on Matt's BB repo?
I also noticed that in the rockstar documentation, it says "The yt installation allows the option to install and configure Rockstar appropriately" - but I can't find anything about rockstar in install_script.sh. Am I missing something?
Thanks for the help!
