title: How do I install a package from GitHub gist?
body: <p>I don't understand this...</p>
  
  <p>I want to install this <a href="https://gist.github.com/sixtenbe/1178136" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/sixtenbe/1178136</a>.</p>
  
  <p>It is a peak detection script for python. </p>
  
  <p>Everywhere I look I am told to use pip with the .git extension. </p>
  
  <p>All I see is how to download the .zip, but from there I am lost. </p>
  
  <p>How can I install this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
