How do I install nest2D

[EthanRosenthal]

I had some luck adding '-DRP_ENABLE_DOWNLOADING=on' to this line of the setup.py file:

        cmake_args = ['-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=' + extdir,
                      '-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=' + sys.executable,
                      '-DRP_ENABLE_DOWNLOADING=on']

and installing the package from source via pip install -e .. That flag makes the underlying libnest2d library install any missing C dependencies (see here). BTW I did this on a Mac.

@EthanRosenthal answer worked for me in Ubuntu 18.04 and Python3. Running the simple_sample.py successfully generated the out.svg file. Thank you a lot!
