[pyos] Installation from PyPI only supports some platforms #403

Description

Looking at the installation instructions (readme or docs), I got the impression that a simple pip install python-graphblas would work for most users, but this does not appear to be the case. Originally I installed from Conda-Forge, so I did not notice this.

It seems that the essential dependency suitesparse-graphblas only provides binaries for Linux. Thus a simple pip install python-graphblas will fail for macOS and Windows users, and I expect most of them will be confused.

Can you please explain this situation better, so that the installation experience is as smooth as possible? I.e.,

  • Ideally, provide binaries for all platforms.
  • If this is not possible, point out the issues and their solutions.
    • A simple solution is to use Anaconda.
    • A more complicated one is to compile suitesparse-graphblas from source. There should be instructions for this.
