Initial public beta

Initial public beta version of pace_python.

Please download the pace_python_matlab_installer file for your OS and run it. This will install the Matlab Runtime and a GUI installer app. Run the installer app (pace_python_installer) which will install miniconda and the pace_python module (if you have an existing Python installation you wish to use, select Custom Installation in the app).

If you select Jupyter and/or Spyder (both recommended) in the Default Installation option, then after the installation finishes, you will see links to Jupyter and Spyder in your start menu (on Windows) which you can use to start Jupyter/Spyder with pace-python. Then run:

import pace_python
m = pace_python.Matlab()
m.horace()

To start the Horace GUI.

If you have any problems, please create an issue on this repository.
