Description

Is there a reason why we are using relatively old software versions for e.g. Ubuntu, Miniconda2 instead of 3, ... ? https://github.com/biocore/empress/blob/7cd33d29331d188a784158ad7729e448cb443531/.travis.yml#L4

Shouldn't we add testing on OSX?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Update the Miniconda version in the .travis.yml file from Miniconda2 to Miniconda3 (or latest) and add an OSX build job to the Travis CI configuration. Verify the change works by checking the CI logs after the update.
