Added basic installation instructions. These worked on mac in a fresh conda environment.

Problem & Solution Description (including issue #)

Code Quality

• My code follows the code style of this project
• I have written unit tests or justified all instances of #pragma: no cover; in the case of a bugfix, a new test that breaks as a result of the bug has been added
• My code contains relevant comments and necessary documentation for future maintainers; the change is reflected in applicable demos/tutorials (with output cleared!) and added/updated docstrings use the NumPy docstring format
• Any breaking changes, described above, are accompanied by backwards compatibility and deprecation warnings

This looks good to me, I left one comment regarding conda installing sqlite. All in all though, it looks good.

[drewoldag]

I just took a swing at this on my work computer (M1 mac) and I only needed to conda install pytables. I didn't have to include sqlite in the conda install.

I don't think it hurts anything to include it, but I'm not sure it's necessary.

[raphaelshirley]

Yes, you are right. I retried without sqlite and had no problems. I added it to solve an error I was getting with pytest but realised that was also due to the missing pytables originally. I have removed the sqlite install.

Longer term is it possible to install pytables automatically using the pyproject.toml requirements or can that not access conda-forge?

[drewoldag]

It's a little tricky simply because some of the dependencies are only in PyPI and others are available on both conda-forge and PyPI.

I believe that this is a rough edge that RAIL has, and it's not isolated to rail_lephare. So, theoretically anyone who has RAIL installed and working should be more of less familiar with this annoyance.
