install_tobac() installs the Python modules needed to run Tobac functions. The packages are installed in a virtualenv, which by default is named "harp-py". This virtual environment is the default virtual environment in which all harp related Python modules are installed. If you already have the "harp-py" virtualenv, you will be asked if you want to remove the virtualenv prior to installation. Typically you would answer no to this.

install_tobac(envname = "harp-py", new_env = identical(envname, "harp-py"))
