Improve installation process. #340

Closed dpinney closed 9 years ago

We need to make pip install omf without another download step work.

For pre-release builds, look in to pip installs directly from github: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8247605/configuring-so-that-pip-install-can-work-from-github

There's no way to pip install some of our pre-reqs (numpy, matplotlib, some unix packages, all windows packages) without a lot of hassle, so this issue is unfixable.

Workaround: the install instructions are a lot shorter and clearer now. And I tested them all and confirmed they work.

Eventually we could extend setup.py to pull the non-python requirements at the user's request. Dunno why (e.g.) matplotlib doesn't do this.
