Thanks for the replies.
I ended up using the pip install method.
Which seems to have worked pretty well up to 4 errors (after running
fipy.test()).

The errors are from:
1. Doctest: fipy.tools.dimensions.physicalField.PhysicalField.__array_wrap__
2. Doctest: fipy.meshes.gmshMesh.GmshGrid2D._test
3. Doctest: fipy.meshes.gmshMesh.GmshGrid3D._test
4. Doctest: fipy.variables.meshVariable._MeshVariable._shapeClassAndOther


Will any of these be critical errors?
I don't think the first three are a big deal.
I'm not sure about the last one.

Cheers,
Kyle
