Hi

I installed HUMAnN 3 through pip according usr manual

`pip install humann `

After downloading sources from git and running demo

`humann --input examples/demo.fastq --output $OUTPUT_DIR`

I got an error

`CRITICAL ERROR: Please update diamond from version 0.9.24 to version 0.9.36`

So how could I update diamond version through pip installation ?
