:wrench: Installation

Step 1: Install Anaconda :snake:

First, install Anaconda following this tutorial

Step 2: Create and Activate a New Conda Environment :computer:

# Create a new conda environment
conda create -n cell2cell -y python=3.7 jupyter

# Activate the environment
conda activate cell2cell

Step 3: Install cell2cell :arrow_down:

pip install cell2cell
