Binary installation with `conda install` or `conda forge` should be investigated

It would be great if there were also instructions for people using the conda environment manager instead of virtualenv. On my MacOS, I succeeded in getting it to run by following the instructions with homebrew for MacOS, but then from "Install virtualenv by running pip3 install virtualenv." I did the following

• Create new conda environment by running: conda create --name chirun
• Run: conda install pdf2svg [not sure whether that step is necessary]
• Run: pip install git+https://github.com/chirun-ncl/chirun.git --upgrade-strategy only-if-needed Generally I think the best advice is to try to install as many packages as possible with conda install or conda forge and only do pip install for the remainder.

Thanks, I've added some Conda install instructions to the docs at https://chirun.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/cli/install.html#quick-installation

It looks like it should be possible to upload a binary distribution somewhere for installing with conda install or conda forge in the future, so I'll leave the issue open to remind me to look into that.
