Making triqs installable with pip

[stanieldev]

Hello! I've been having significant issues getting TRIQs to work on Windows, since that is our primary operating system.

I would like if a feature would be added so that I can do pip install triqs since both using conda and straight-from-source hasn't been successful on my machine.

Thanks!

Dear @stanieldev,

Thank you for your interest in the TRIQS software.

The TRIQS software depends on various scientific libraries, such as BLAS/Lackack, HDF5 and FFTW.
These binary dependencies can unfortunately not be handled within pip.

For Windows we recommend you use the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows you to install the most recent LTS Version of the Ubuntu Linux distribution.

You can then follow our install instructions for Ubuntu debian packages within you embedded Linux environment.
