PyPI installation of PySCF unreliable #14

Closed babbush closed 6 years ago

babbush commented 6 years ago

PySCF is not trivial to install on most systems. Most of the time I have found that installing via PyPI fails. Thus, if one has already managed to install PySCF they are in good shape but if they try to install OpenFermion-PySCF via PyPI without first making sure PySCF works, they might be in trouble since it is technically one of our requirements. I am not really sure what to do about this. Ideas?
