conda-reconcile: An Anaconda-based OpenRefine Reconciliation Environment

Pre-requisite Anaconda installation

(Windows-only) Visual C++ Build Tools: Scrolls down and select the “Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019” download.
Download Anaconda3, selecting the Python 3.x version 64-bit installer, and install it.
- (Windows) During installation use the default settings, and ensure the boxes that add conda to your PATH are checked.

Download the YAML (openrefine.yml) file from this repo or clone it.
cd to where you downloaded the YAML file.
Create the conda environment from the YAML file:
```
$ conda env create -f openrefine.yml
```
Activate the environment:
```
$ source activate refine3
```
If your shell complains (and/or you are using Anaconda Prompt), instead drop the source part:
```
$ activate refine3
```

Depending on your shell, it should say (refine3) in your command prompt.

Make sure you have activated the environment as per above (you must see a refine3 in your prompt).
