README pip installation uses fetch using unauthenticated Git that GitHub no longer supports

[akkornel]

Hello! I'd like to report an issue with one of the installation instructions from the README.

README line 34…

pip install git+git://github.com/lbcb-sci/raven.git@master

… uses unauthenticated Git, which GitHub stopped supporting last year. This was announced in Improving Git protocol security on GitHub, published on September 2021, in the section "No more unauthenticated Git".

I'm reporting this because one of our users tried running the command above, and it hung (since GitHub is now dropping traffic to the port used for unauthenticated Git).

As a replacement, I suggest a command like this, which uses Git over HTTPS:

pip install git+https://github.com/lbcb-sci/raven.git@master

Please let me know if you have any questions about my report. Thanks much!
