The automatic Python package installation technique (bootstrapping) used in GIS4WRF works on Ubuntu 20.04 (and maybe earlier) but then fails at import because the wrong import path is added. The PR fixes that. Once merged, the installation docs can be simplified to be like the Windows ones (just install QGIS).
Note that earlier Ubuntu versions had a problem with the bootstrapping method used here (pip install --prefix .. wasn't supported) but this seems to have been fixed at some point.
