Hi Stephanie, Do "python setup.py develop" in the root of the yt installation. This is documented here: http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/installing.html#installing-yt-using-pip-or-fr... By the way, if you are using the new conda-based install script, you can set "INST_YT_SOURCE=1" at the top, and it will install yt from a clone of the yt mercurial repository for you. -Nathan On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 6:32 PM, Stephanie Tonnesen <stonnes@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi yt-ers,

I am trying to make a quick edit to the source code to see if it works, and don't know how to actually implement the changes. Can I just make clean and then re-make yt in my yt directory? I basically have no idea what I am doing here...

Thanks for all advice! Stephanie
