Installation problems - Githubissues

Hello,

I am a mechanical engineer and pretty new to Python, so I apologize if some of my questions are trivial. I followed the installation process for PDSim. I installed python and got the PDSim source code from Tortoisegit. However, I ran into some issues:

When I try to install PDSim in command prompt, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\dmamr\OneDrive\Desktop\Simulator\pdsim\setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    import cython
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cython'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\dmamr\OneDrive\Desktop\Simulator\pdsim\setup.py", line 5, in <module>
    raise ImportError('Sorry the required package cython was not found')
ImportError: Sorry the required package cython was not found

Did I miss something and forgot to install this missing module ?

I chose the “Add Anaconda to the system PATH environmental variable” option when installing Miniconda, as this was my first installation. Now, when I enter "python" into command prompt, I get
```
Python 3.9.7 (default, Sep 16 2021, 16:59:28) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32
```

Warning: This Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment has not been activated. Libraries may fail to load. To activate this environment please see https://conda.io/activation



I tried to run `....\Miniconda3\Scripts\activate base `in Anaconda prompt to activate the base environment, but I still get the same warning in the command prompt.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
