 Install Loads Kernel with core dependencies via:

 To use the graphical tools and other features, optional libraries definded as extras are necessary:
-- pip install -e <repo_path>[extra]
+- pip install -e <repo_path>[extras]
 Especially with mpi or the graphical libraries, pip frequently fails. In that case, try to install the packages using a
 package manager such as conda.
