So, in the absence of any further guidance, I installed the first three
packages; but, not unexpectedly, when I try to run geomag.py, I still get the
error:

----

[HN:bin] ./geomag.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./geomag.py", line 13, in <module>
    from geomagio.Controller import main, parse_args
  File "/tmp/usgs/geomag-algorithms-master/geomagio/__init__.py", line 5, in
<module>
    import StreamConverter
  File "/tmp/usgs/geomag-algorithms-master/geomagio/StreamConverter.py", line
11, in <module>
    import obspy.core
ImportError: No module named obspy.core
[HN:bin]

I can't find any instructions that suggest what to do next, (in particular,
how to install obspy) so all I can think of to do is to repeat a part of my
prior e-mail:
