documenting Linux install

[chrplr]

I have added notes to the Linux install doc, explaining how to install expyriment in a virtual environment, either with pyenv or with anaconda, using python 3.7 (for which pip install expyriment does not fail)

Hum, I had not intended to push the _screen_io stuff (icon). You can reject this part.

When, for any reason, installing an environment and an older version of Python is not an option, I clone the repo and use pip install .. This also has the advantage of working with pygame 2.x.

However, when I recently did this ,I got a DEPRECATION message for pip:

PS C:\Users\chris\git\expyriment> pip install .
[...]
DEPRECATION: expyriment is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at pypa/pip#8559

To correct thus, I just added in the main folder a pyproject.toml that I had created for another project, and the pip install . now runs without warning. Here is the content of the pyproject.toml file:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=42"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

IT may need to be tailored to better reflect the dependencies of expyriment, but at least, it is a start.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Our build system is a bit more involved and the code in the setup.py needs to be called when building the wheels in order to retrieve version information etc. dynamically. It is not obvious to me how to achieve this with the new build system, though.
