Hi Matthew, Welcome to yt! If it's a 64-bit Windows machine, you should be able to install yt from the command prompt or Powershell using conda install yt If it's a 32-bit machine, it will still work but you will have to download the yt source and install it manually: 1) First, install the yt dependencies using anaconda: conda install numpy sympy h5py hdf5 cython matplotlib libpython setuptools mingw ipython 2) Grab the tar.gz file from https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/y/yt/yt-3.0.1.tar.gz 3) Unzip it, go into the directory that it creates and type python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 install Let me know if you have any problems, Best, John Z John ZuHone Kavli Center for Astrophysics and Space Research Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Ave., 37-582G Cambridge, MA 02139 (w) 617-253-2354 (m) 781-708-5004 jzuhone@space.mit.edu jzuhone@gmail.com http://www.jzuhone.com

Hello,

I am new to yt, and trying to install it on my Windows 7 PC for a research project I am going to be working on. I have miniconda installed, but I have no idea where to go from there. I am also relatively new to python as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Matt
