Hey Daniel, Much appreciated! I think building my own on a VM might be the next thing I try. I attempted to use jevans version, with a fresh install of Anaconda, but to no avail. The code here: https://gist.github.com/jake-brinkmann/fb4bd3f4625b209978d0 still didn't work.
I'll look through the examples to attempt again after building my own package. Thank you!
