Install

Only the pip install is working now (PyPI package):

• pip install adl2pydm

Once a conda package has been built and uploaded to the aps-anl-tag channel on conda-forge, (see related GitHub issue) then:

• conda install adl2pydm -c aps-anl-tag

Note: Only the standard Python (3.7 or higher) packages are needed to run adl2pydm. No additional packages are required.
