Installation

The cyvcf2 install process appears to be jinxed on certain systems/setups. In practice this means that a chained pip install on a naive system may fail. Installation of each requirement for cyvcf2 prior to installing it appears to work unconditionally.

pip install numpy; pip install Cython
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
