Unable to create conda virtual environment, per installation instructions

[ cc openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/3115 ]

I'm unable to create a conda environment using the installation instructions found on the README. However, I'm able to simply pip install . the package, so there's one viable path to installation! I've included the error message and details below.

I imagine it's simply because of https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7311#issuecomment-442320274 (or some similar issue), but can't confirm because I don't know what platform the environment.yml was exported on.

OS: macOS Catalina Conda version: 4.8.3

All right I'll change it to pip install . since it is all standard library anyway. Closed with commit d494ade
