docs: update igraph installation instructions #225

Closed szhorvat closed 1 year ago

szhorvat commented 1 year ago

The description of igraph's installation procedure was outdated. For a while now it could be easily installed with pip, as binary wheels are available for most major platforms. Even when compiling from sources, it is not necessary to have the C core separately installed, as it is bundled with python-igraph. This PR removes outdated information about igraph and corrects the "iGraph" spelling to the preferred "igraph".

Full disclosure: I am not a pymaid user, but I am involved with igraph, and simply wanted to fix an outdated piece of information about this library.

Thanks, the installation ease improvements have been much appreciated! Navis, on top of which pymaid is built, now has igraph as a non-optional dependency; most likely we'll pin pymaid to a more recent navis version and igraph will be pulled in automatically.

Thanks for this PR, obviously happy to merge! Chris is correct though and we will further clarify this in the future.
