[Users] Problem installing Einstein Toolkit on Mac

Mon Aug 7 09:57:42 CDT 2023

Thank you Roland for your reply,
I was just watching your Youtube video "Introduction to the Einstein
Toolkit", so seeing your name pop up was a bit of a surprise!!

I believe that I had previously done everything required and followed all
of the install instructions properly.  But I have now gone through them all
again and still have the same problem.
I have attached the config file you mentioned but it doesn't seem to give
any more details that are spooled in the Jupyter notebook when I run it.

Regards

Rob
