lmxl and pillow fail to install on windows with make command #21

Open kvnkho opened 3 years ago

lxml not failing to install on windows is a known issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51118394/pip-install-lxml-fails-on-python-3-7-on-windows

Pillow also has issues https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41188838/cant-install-pillow-in-windows

I think these are not big issues as there are workarounds. I just think we can make it easier to install by editing the make command. lmxl is probably the bigger issue for dev environment.

lmxl now available via pip install as long as prerequisites are available. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29440482/how-to-install-lxml-on-windows

The easiest fix here is to make a make conda-install set-up. Windows users can just use the conda set up. This handles installing all of the lxml prereq stuff.
