Local set-up using pip and venv

1. Ensure that python >=3.9 and pip are installed (if not, install python >=3.9)

python -V          # should return >=3.9
python -m pip -V

2. Install virtualenv: python -m pip install virtualenv
3. Create virtual environment: python -m venv aeon
4. Activate the virtual environment and install the code dependencies:

source aeon/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .

5. Optionally install the development dependencies:

source aeon/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .[dev]

6. Using the virtual environment:
   • source aeon/bin/activate activates the virtual environment; any commands now run within this terminal will take place within the virtual environment.
   • deactivate deactivates the virtual environment.
