Cannot install AIDAqc via conda as per manual — environment file conflicts #30

Description

Describe the bug
Following the PDF manual instructions, the environment setup fails. The provided aidaqc.yaml contains outdated package pins (e.g. Python 3.6, Qt 5.9, OpenSSL 1.1), which cannot be resolved on modern conda-forge.

To Reproduce
Clone the repo.
Run in a fresh system:
conda env create --name aidaqc --file=aidaqc.yaml
Solver reports multiple conflicts and unsatisfiable dependencies (e.g., pyqt=5.9.2, openssl=1.1.1m).

Expected behavior
The environment should be created successfully so that AIDAqc can be installed and run.

Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: AlmaLinux 9.6 (Bruker PV360 3.6 system)
CPU: x64
Package manager: mamba 25.3.1

Additional context
The aidaqc.yaml environment file appears to rely on deprecated package versions no longer available on conda-forge. A modernized requirements.txt exists and may be more appropriate for installation. Would you consider updating the official instructions and YAML file?
