Problem

The conda instructions do not work on windows:

• it is very slow
• fails on lxml + pikepdf installation

The venv method does not include in information about how to install all of the dev dependencies

Suggested improvement

Possible options for conda:

• find a way to get pikepdf to install on windows
• remove those entries from environment.yml

Possible solution for venv:

• document pip install -r requirements/dev/dev-requirements.txt
