The sphinx, bumps and periodictable Anaconda packages are not up to date. To install the latest versions, use pip as below:

 pip install sphinx==1.3.6
 pip install bumps==0.7.5.9
 pip install periodictable==1.3.0

Notes:

• If attempting to upgrade older versions of bumps and/or periodictable, first uninstall any versions already installed.

   pip uninstall bumps
   pip uninstall periodictable
  

You may need to issue these commands more than once to ensure that all previous versions are cleaned out.

• The above does not install the latex environment needed to build PDF docs.
• To build the windows installer you also need innosetup and py2exe.
