updated installation instructions

[taylorreiter]

Hello! I recently tried to install kspider and wasn't able to using the installation instructions. From my mac (M1 running rosetta), I created a new conda env and then tried to pip install kspider. I got errors from missing dependencies and ended up with issues related to clang. Would you be willing to provide updated installation instructions or a conda environment file with all of the dependencies need to get kspider to install from pip?

Hello Taylor, as of now, kSpider can be installed via pip exclusively on Linux systems with an Intel processor, making it suitable for the farm. There are several versions available, but the most recent one from the dev branch doesn't have a pip package yet. I understand the documentation might be lacking at the moment, mainly because I'm the sole developer and the project is still in an active development phase. I'm more than willing to offer support to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Awesome thanks @mr-eyes! knowing that it only installs on linux is super helpful, I'll give it a go on an AWS instance. Thanks again!
