Pip installs at start of each notebook?

[rijobro]

Should we be pip installing monai and its dependencies at the start of each notebook?

Discussion continued from #47.

My personal feeling is that we should lift all pip installs from our notebooks as the relevant instructions are already in our README.md. It also saves us from having to update as our notebooks/dependencies change.

Hi @wyli and @ericspod ,

Should we raise a discussion about this topic in next MONAI meeting?
Thanks.

we've discussed this in the meeting already, the solution is to tag a branch such as v0.3.0, which will depend on pip install monai==0.3.0. and the master branch depends on pip install git+https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI#egg=MONAI.

we need some CI tests to ensure the master branch works fine

Just pushed 0.3.0 tag https://github.com/Project-MONAI/tutorials/tree/0.3.0,
so for the users with pip install monai==0.3.0, they should check out this link, instead of the tutorial's master branch.

Sounds good! Thanks @wyli

this makes Colab not directly runnable. so we need some instructions for colab user to manually add a %pip install monai cell
