Need to choose between pip install or conda

Currently pip install genosysmics/ command install genosysmics package in path like HOME/<conda_folder>/lib/python3.X/site-packages/genosysmics. It means that pip does not install genosysmics within the genosys conda environment the README asked to build for it. Although this option helps to put genosysmics module in the user $PATH, the conda environment genosys remains empty, as seen in the following example :

(genosys) [bchurcheward@login-01 ~]$ conda list
# packages in environment at /sandbox/users/bchurcheward/miniconda3/envs/genosys:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel

As a minor consequence, it also creates copies of the files located within the git folder, as the pip install command cannot be performed without the source code in the git folder. Also we need to install it again using pip after each code modification.

Working in well-defined conda environment is useful with snakemake workflows, but currently the genosys environment is useless.
