Added instructions for instalation on gnu/linux #30

Hi,

Hopefully this is not too imposing: Just found your system today. This is all I had time for and I do not know if I will have time for more. but this should help future gnu/linux users start using it.

Could I recommend having the install instructions in the readme file? O a link to it. It will only save me 5 seconds to realize where the file is.

Also, I have created odt file as it is and ISO standard and docx does strange things on other non-microsoft editors. Ideally I would have changed the whole document to markdown, but ran out of time.

Please accept.

Thanks amunizp! I've been actually an Ubuntu user myself but since I've started my PhD I've used the macs we have in the office. I appreciate your contribution and hope to see more coming in the future :)

If you're interested, me and a couple of guys are working on version 2 of Instrumentino, basing it on Kivy and having tons of improvements. Tell me if you feel like joining us.

Cheers, Joel

I would love to. I have to warn you that A) I am not a developer this was my first PULL request ever done B) I can't commit much time but at least I can try things out from time to time. C) I really want to try instrumentino as I have not had a chance.

Kivy sounds great! I have wanted to try it for some time. But if the intention is using wifi device in the lab I am concerned with noise and hardware compatibility. I work in a boring physics lab where even playing music is bad news!

Have you thought of doing a web base (local network) solution? Something like a mix between openHAB and the labONE option of zurichInstruments? I can see it being interesting for remote applications in the lab and no dependance on wireless compatibility.

Kivy IS great! I enjoy working with it very much. The WiFi connectivity idea is only an add-on. USB will be always supported (it's the easiest). Thanks for the links on openHAB and LabOne. I can't say I fully understood what you meant in your suggestion, but once we add support for the Instrumentino protocol over IP, you'd be able to control remote experiments.

As of joining, take your time, this is an open-source project so anybody is welcome to contribute on their own terms. Feel free to do more pull requests when you want.
