[Proposal] Draft of developer install instructions using Conda #43

Closed tjd2002 closed 6 years ago

tjd2002 commented 6 years ago

I tried to write up the use of Conda for building development environments. I essentially had to solve this problem in order to get all the recipes to build, and I think it ends up being kind of elegant (you get multi-language dev environments with the isolation of a virtualenv).

I also updated the 'regular' dev install instructions.

I realize this would be a big change for most devs. Feedback welcome!

A more conservative way to write this would just be to flip the order, and to indicate that the actual ML developers use the 'standard' approach.
