Closes #1688.
Instead of relying on the environment variable
_
to get the path of the running application (which returns the python installation directory when cyclus is called via python) this callswhich cyclus
to find the location of the cyclus binary.This assumes that the machine has the
which
utility and that the cyclus installation directory is in thePATH
. Not 100% robust but I think these are assumptions we can safely make (or enforce on our users).
