Description of work:
The main sentiment expressed by Matthew in #104 was that the use of the terminal should be as minimal as possible. With the changes to the CLI the part of using the terminal to create experiments is avoided but there was still another part of the problem missing. Namely the necessity of still having to activate a conda environment on the terminal every time an user wants to use mantid with the mvesuvio repository. Ideally Matthew doesn't touch the terminal on his daily use of the package.
The solution I came up with is to publish the package to PyPI nightly as we are currently doing with conda.
The reasons for this are the following:
./python -m pip install mvesuvio
The advantages of this approach is that users install mvesuvio only one time per mantid installation, using a single command. The disadvantage is of course that the CLI is not accessible via this installation. This will not be a problem due to the changes I have implemented in #105. These changes effectively mean that the user uses the default IP folder directory as the directory on their machine to store IP files. This is not a huge compromise as this directory is not meant to be changed anyway.
To test:
I will merge this to main (I know, I know) and check whether the nightly builds were successful 🤠
