Installing with Anaconda

These installation instructions are for installing pysalt with Anaconda. They assume you are starting on new installation, but if you already have IRAF installed, you can skip the installation of that included below. Anaconda works from the bash shell, so if you are not using bash, execute 'bash -l' before running the following commands. If installing on Ubuntu, it may require these additional steps.
