 The nature of NoisePy being composed of python scripts allows flexible package installation, which is essentially to build dependent libraries the scripts and related functions live upon. We recommend using [conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) or [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/) to install.
