External dependencies:
sudo apt install python3 python3-numpy python3-scipy python3-matplotlib python3-nose python3-pip cython3
As currently written, pip and cython are not installed automatically, leading to errors when attempting to install tamkin with pip.
Also, as currently written with pythonand not python3, clean installs default to python2 and prompt to install python-is-python2 which sets system python to 2.x: It is my suggestion that the installation instructions be written for python3 to avoid setting the default to python 2, which has reached end-of-life.
EDIT: I am also recommending replacing apt-get by apt as this is a newer and preferred implementation for command-line package management in Ubuntu and Debian.
Installation:
It is not be necessary to install numpy and nosetests with pip when installed systemwide under external dependencies.

For a clean install on a fully updated Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (12 June 2020), recommend the installation instructions be updated as follows (https://molmod.github.io/tamkin/tutorial/install.html):
