Update installation instructions to include fortran compiler dependency
Hello,
Enoying this superb book so far.
When trying to build the python environment (on ubuntu 18.04) ala:
mkvirtualenv bayes
pip install -r requirements.txt
I received several cryptic error messages about pymc not installing to do with an unavailable numpy module. After some digging I found the cause to be that pymc requires a fortran compiler to be installed.
After installing gfortran it went smoothly.
I'd suggest adding a note somewhere in the README to inform people that gfortran or equivalent is required to build.
Curious what system are you using?
