Description
Recently was installing pyxrf in a clean py39 venv. I followed the instructions on the readthedocs, but still needed to manually add some dependencies.
Expected Behavior
I followed the instructions posted here http://nsls-ii.github.io/PyXRF/installation.html
I started with a new py39 venv. Cloned the repo, installed PyQt, and then pip installed pyxrf. I expected pyxrf to run after that, but I ran into dependency issues
Current Behavior
I needed to manually install some dependencies (scikit-beam and xraylib) in order to get pyxrf to run.
Possible Solution
Can the requirements.txt file be updated to include these dependencies?

Research direction
Start by reading requirements.txt and the source-install instructions at http://nsls-ii.github.io/PyXRF/installation.html. Check how a clean Python 3.9 virtual environment installs PyXRF, add the missing scikit-beam and xraylib dependencies if appropriate, and verify that PyXRF runs without manual dependency installation.
