Add alternate instructions for installing psutil with anaconda

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. pip install psutil gives me a gcc error (maybe because it's using a global gcc rather than the one in my conda environment?).

In any case, conda install psutil cleared it right up. Adding a little note to the install instructions might save future users some time.

If you were feeling really cool, you might even set up a conda-forge package to automate installation for conda users :)

Thanks for the tip! Others have suggested making a conda forge package in #585. It sounds like a good idea, but I haven't had a chance to prioritize it yet.

I don't suppose you still have the error message from pip install psutil lying around? If so, it might be helpful to post here to help with people searching for the error in the future (also what Python version were you using?).

#2892 removes our dependence on psutil so I think we can close this now.
