Hi Alex<div><br></div><div>What you&#39;re trying to do likely won&#39;t work for yt 2.x.</div><div><br></div><div>It will work for 3.0 but we haven&#39;t uploaded that to PyPI yet.  You should be able to &#39;python setup.py install&#39; 3.0 from a checkout of the mercurial repo<span></span>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you need to install yt 2.x inside conda, you should be able to install it via &#39;conda install yt&#39;.  Continuum Analytics kindly builds yt for us and hosts a build on their anaconda distribution servers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Hope that helps,</div><div><br></div><div>Nathan</div><div><br>On Wednesday, February 26, 2014, Alex Bogert &lt;<a href="mailto:bogart.alex@gmail.com">bogart.alex@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to install yt using pip in an anaconda environment I just setup. I am running into an issue with freetype.
