As the package is still in development, the best way to install it is via the pip -editable option. To do so:

1. Pull the most recent verision of the jordan_dev (branch name may change later) to a local repo.
2. Using the following command to install an editable version, replacing the path to the correct location.

$ pip install -e "C:/path/to/folder/morpc-py/"

Import the package as normal

$ import morpc

To contribute to the development branch make changes in the local repo and push them to git. When making changes to the package, you will have to re-import the package. If you are working in a Jupyter environment you will have to do this after restarting the kernel.
