I'm not sure how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go in terms of explaining to your users how to get a dev environment set up, but: on OS X you need to run `brew install libyaml` before you install backlift via easy_install Also the correct flag for easy_install is --upgrade, not --update.

Libyaml is not a requirement, the installer will fallback to a pure python yaml library if libyaml isn't available. It does report a rather confusing error, however, before completing the install. If this wasn't the case for you please shoot me an email at support at backlift.com so I can investigate. Thanks for catching the upgrade/update error.
