Wiki documentation mentions a `mmhelper` command, but it doesn't work #1

First of all, thank you for developing such a fantastic piece of software. However, I have found a couple of bugs, plus I would like to propose an enhancement.

According to the wiki, the program runs by clicking on the "run" file. At least on my computer, this does not happen. Alternatively, it is also indicated that the program runs following these commands:

> pip install git+https://github.com/jmetz/mmhelper.git
> mmhelper

However, the command does not run after installation.

Here is the workaround I found:

> pip install git
> pip install git+https://github.com/jmetz/mmhelper.git
> python -m momanalysis.gui

I have included the first command as I consider it will help people without a programming background to run the application. It can also help to add some troubleshooting, like verification that the program was correctly installed by running > conda list and see that the library should appear there.

Finally, my recommendation would be to ask if you could include the possibility to analyse fluorescence movies only.

Thank you very much. Santi

Due to the major differences in how such a detection algorithm works, this is not part of the current project; however there is a sister project (that is currently unreleased pending publication) that addresses this.
