My experience installing the local dev environment

[tm-jc-nacpil]

Hi! I was following the local dev installation instructions, and would like to share some feedback. TL;DR It went pretty smoothly naman, and I have some small suggestions for the instructions (in bold)

1. Before running, verified the python version to be 3.9.12
2. After forking and cloning the repo, I had to cd geowrangler first for the rest of dev set-up instructions to work. Adding instructions for cloning and moving to the forked repo may be helpful
3. poetry install created a default virtual environment
   a. Log: Creating virtualenv geowrangler-hjXmHUg_-py3.9 in /home/jc_tm/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs
   b. I had to google how to activate the default environment that it created, so maybe we could add this line to the instructions: source {path_to_venv}/bin/activate
4. Rest of the installation instructions completed with no issue 😄
5. After running poetry run jupyter lab it leads me to a jupyter lab window with the directory in the mismong repo
6. END

For number 3, you can activate the env by running poetry shell
