Quick Start: Installation

If this is the first time using DSI, start by creating a DSI virtual environment with a name of your choice, e.g., mydsi:
```
python -m venv mydsi
```
Then activate the environment (start here if you already have a DSI virtual environment) and install the latest pip in your environment:
```
source mydsi/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
```
Go down into the project space root, clone the dsi repo and use pip to install dsi:
```
git clone https://github.com/lanl/dsi.git
cd dsi
pip install .
```
When you’ve completed work, deactivate the environment with:
```
deactivate
```
