halotools.test_installation() seems to be broken in some environments

[aphearin]

A new halotools user recently reported that calling the test_installation function raises an exception:

unrecognized arguments: remote_data=None

It's possible that the API of pytest has changed in some versions such that the test_installation function needs to be updated. I was able to successfully call this function locally on my own machine (python 3.12, macos 15.2, halotools v0.9.2, pytest v8.3.2), but I haven't tried to pin down what environments lead to this failure. In case anyone else finds this issue, it would be helpful to have a report of this failure in the comments of this issue that includes some info on the environment.
