readthedocs build error

[wbalmer]

Hi @tomasstolker I've tried building on readthedocs by linking this github repo. It seems to be linked fine, but the builds are failing for some reason because the readthedocs install has some issue with pip installing orbitize!

This is what the build error says

appears to be a problem with how setup.py is setup for orbitize and therefore in the virtual env that is created during readthedocs build. not sure i can fix this without a PR on orbitize

[tomasstolker]

Good idea to just copy the two functions from orbitize into backtrack!

I had the same problem when setting up the Actions workflow. Separately pip installing NumPy before orbitize did not help in that case, so not sure what the issue was.
