Update documentation:Installation

[yeganer]

Since several people report having problems with that specific line

conda create -n tardis --file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tardis-sn/tardis/master/conda-requirements python=2 pip

I suggest changing it to

conda create -n tardis --file conda-requirements python=2 pip

and mention to run that from inside the root of tardis' repository.

There seems to be a problem with using https:// there. The bug seems to be system specific since I didn't encounter it.

@yeganer - agreed.

[yeganer]

@wkerzendorf should I do a quick PR?

[wkerzendorf]

sounds good

[yeganer]

Are we sure we want the part about pip in there?
And on the Installation page we don't even mention cloning git. Is this
still preferred?

ditch pip it's nowadays autoinstalled.

If you look at the current installation page https://tardis.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html you'll notice that the recommended way is to use anaconda and then inside anaconda install tardis with pip install tardis-sn.

If one follows the link to the Development Workflow, the first step is to setup the python environment which links to a page where using virtualenv is explained and anaconda isn't even mentioned.

With that confusing going on, I can understand why we got that many questions asking how to install.

Is the recommended way to install tardis for production still pip? In that case I wouldn't change much on the installation page but improve the "Set up your python environment" part.

whatever recommended means

[wkerzendorf]

put it on the agenda.
