Issues with installation instructions and requirements.yml

[lauraschachter]

Some notes from attempting to clone this down to my (within USGS network) machine and get it up and running the first time:

• Installation instructions should be clear to clone repo before attempting to create the correct python environment to then work inside.

• I was able to find your other instructions (here) to get all the dependencies and activate the environment, but you may want to either link to or include these instructions so others don't have to search around for them when needed.

• The included requirements.yml doesn't include support for jupyter notebooks, so you can't run the included example notebook in the activated environment. The following should be added to requirements.yml:

  • ipython
  • jupyter
  • notebook
  • ipykernel
