NoOptionError : MultiNest

[skat00sh]

While to try to run quickstart/qs_3_lens_modeling.ipynb I'm getting this error:

Any idea what could be a default value of terminate_at_acceptance_ratio that could be set?

This is a local issue on your machine, the notebook you linked works completely fine on my system.

MultiNest is now (finally) an optional install.
