!!! note
Use of pip can be problematic, even on Linux. Some sub-dependencies outside python cannot
be managed by pip, such as `libpq-dev`, which is required by [psycopg2](https://www.psycopg.org/install/).
Use [conda](#installation-with-conda) if you're new to python package managers. You've been warned.

For most Linux users, it is recommended to first create some type of virtual environment, and then install lbsntransform in the virtual env, e.g.:

```bash
apt-get install -y libpq-dev # required for psycopg2
apt-get install python3-venv
python3 -m venv lbsntransform_env
source ./lbsntransform_env/bin/activate
