### Installing on Unix-like systems using conda

Installation of penguin requires a working python distribution such as Anaconda.  
After cloning the Penguin repository, create a conda environment that has Veloxchem and pytest installed and activate it:
```
cd penguin
conda env create -f requirements.yaml
conda activate penguin_env
```

Now build and install penguin
```
pip install .
```

Finally test the installation by running:
```
pytest
```
