I am currently attempting to install the LSST science pipeline to access the sims\_feature scheduler function and am running into an issue while attempting to rebuild the ‘lsst\_distrib’. I encounter an error when building product 'astro\_metadata\_translator. Can anyone help me resolve the issue? Thanks[\_build.log](https://www.rubin.community/uploads/short-url/wThfvggK0YYLdonGKWS3bvec2KA.log) (60.1 KB) ---

What commands are you executing, and what error are you seeing? ---

Something seems wrong: the `rebuild` command is used with [“Installation with lsstsw and lsst-build”](https://pipelines.lsst.io/install/lsstsw.html), not the link you cited. ---

I apologize, I sent the wrong link. Yes I am using the ‘Installation with lsstsw and lsst-build’ method ---

Can you please attach the file `lsstsw/build/astro_metadata_translator/_build.log`? ---

The failures you are seeing are I believe due to astropy being unable to download the list of observatory sites. You may find this string in the test output (in one of the files in `lsstsw/build/astro_metadata_translator/tests/.tests/`): ```nohighlight AstropyUserWarning: Could not access the online site list. Falling back on the built-in version, which is rather limited. ``` You will need to ensure that you have Internet access during the build process or that astropy has cached this file and the file of IERS data. See [EarthLocation — Astropy v4.2.2.dev4+g5bce144c6](https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/api/astropy.coordinates.EarthLocation.html#astropy.coordinates.EarthLocation.get_site_names) and [IERS data access (astropy.utils.iers) — Astropy v4.2.2.dev4+g5bce144c6](https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/utils/iers.html#working-offline) ---
