Installing pycro-manager

1. Download the lastest version of micro-manager 2.0
2. Install pycro-manager using pip install pycromanager
3. Run Micro-Manager, select tools-options, and check the box that says Run server on port 4827 (you only need to do this once)

To verify everything is working, run the following code:

from pycromanager import Bridge

bridge = Bridge()
bridge.get_core()

which will give an output like:

Out[1]: JavaObjectShadow for : mmcorej.CMMCore
