unable to setup environment with zipline . . .advice appreciated #1

Description

@lorenze3

I've been on the quantscienc mailing list for a while and decided to just 'run the code' sent out yesterday (or the day before), but I cannot get zipline installed and running on my machine.

I'm on an older windows machine, but I have just upgraded to windows 11 last month or so. At which point I installed the latest anaconda.

I created a new conda environment and tried the recommended pip install zipline-reloaded numpy==1.26.4 plotly nbformat, which results in a failure to properly build ta-lib (might be a c++ setup thing? not sure, I have several compilers in the usual locations and other build processes run fine).

I've tried installing using conda install -c ml4t zipline-reloaded, which is recommended by the package authors. This install completes, but there is an error in some of the modules where my pandas version is too recent OR, when I create a new envirnoment and use this install first thing, then conda won't install the package due to missing requirements (iso3316 and . . .empyrical >=0.5.0).

Any advice is appreciated!
