Description

Dear developers,
I would like to ask if this package can be installed in e.g. Conda environments or if it can be used only on cvmfs.

So far I've tried the following:
- activate a Python3 conda environment I have
- clone this repo
- run ```python setup.py install``` from the root of the repo -> installs the egg in ```site-packages``` but then ```import dbs``` does not find the module
- run ```python setup.py install``` from the ```Client``` directory -> does not seem to automatically install the prerequisites, in particular Curl's static library ```libcurl.a```

Can you please tell me what is the correct workflow for the installation? If it is documented somewhere, can you please point me there?

Thank you,

Massimiliano

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two reported workflows: run `python setup.py install` from the repository root and from `Client`, then test whether `import dbs` works in the Conda environment. Inspect the root and `Client` setup.py files and the handling of the `libcurl.a` prerequisite; done means a documented, working installation workflow for Conda environments.
