I create this issue to uniform the way dependencies are installed with

, as they fail withpip
. This is a recurrent problem found by the users (e.g. here).The installation scripts and the github workflows files work fine, but have the dependencies hard-coded in the conda install command. I propose to use the
requirements.txt
file or anenvironment.yml
file.Furthermore, we should update the documentation in order to explain how to install Larch for those users who have already Anaconda/miniconda distribution installed on their system.
@newville if you agree with that, I can propose a pull request.
