Add conda installation instructions #35

Closed willingc closed 7 years ago

willingc commented 7 years ago

This PR provides instructions for setting up a development environment using conda. Since the project uses numpy and scipy, I suspect that there may be folks that would prefer setting up their dev environment using conda as an alternate over pip.

The environment.yml file uses conda-forge for the dependencies.

An env directory was added to the .gitignore files to help prevent inadvertent check in of credentials.

Thanks @willingc! I've never used conda, so I'll have to check it out. Do you think it could be used to install some of the dependencies I have, like the Java packages and models for the Stanford CoreNLP? See the commit message for 489ea39519c40fb to get an idea of the installation directions.

@sarahsharp Yes, it should be able to simplify the install. The docs for conda (and miniconda) http://conda.pydata.org/docs/index.html.

It would be great to find someone who does research with nltk and CoreNLP to share best practice for install.
