Hi Nick,

See the installation docs here, in particular the section titled “installing support for the rockstar halo finder”:

Britton,

How would I install Rockstar for yt to use? Your webpage mentions
install-script.sh, but my from-source installation lacks it:

~/ART/yt >ls
appveyor.yml  CONTRIBUTING.rst  MANIFEST.in  setup.cfg    yt.egg-info
benchmarks    COPYING.txt       nose.cfg     setupext.py
build         CREDITS           __pycache__  setup.py
CITATION      doc               README.md    tests
clean.sh      docker            scripts      yt

I downloaded it as the help recommends, but then the script tries to
download and install yet another yt installation.

I need to use my clone, since I made some changes to it that I haven't
yet submitted in a pull request.
