Switch from requirement.txt to environment.yml (duartegroup#64)

Simplified installation scripts. 

* Switch from requirement.txt to environment.yml
* Add separate MACE test
* Use only 2 cores (available in GHA) in test_umbrella_parallel
* Streamline install scripts
* Update README.md

 # mlp-train
-General machine learnt potential (MLP) training for molecular systems
+General machine learning potentials (MLP) training for molecular systems in gas phase and solution
+
+Available models:
+- GAP
+- ACE
+- MACE
+
 
 ***
 ### Install
 
+Each model is installed into individual conda environment:
+
 ```
-./install.sh
+# Install GAP
+./install_gap.sh
+
+# Install ACE
+./install_ace.sh
+
+#Install MACE
+./install_mace.sh 
 ```
 
-Machine learning potentials can be installed directly from [scripts/](scripts).
 
 ### Notes
 
-- Units are: distance (Å), energy (eV), force (eV Å-1), time (fs)
-- Training using molecular mechanics (MM) is not supported as we've not found it to be efficient
+- Units are: distance (Å), energy (eV), force (eV Å$`^{-1}`$), time (fs)
