Ladybug Tools 1.1.0 is the Grasshopper plugin. If you want to use the python libraries from the command line then you can install the core libraries.
For daylight simulation use pip install honeybee-radiance for energy pip install honeybee-energy and so on. We use dependabot to keep all the versions updated. You can use the -U flag to get the latest version of the library and this will also update all the dependencies to the latest version.
pip install honeybee-energy -U
If you want to get all of them in one go, then you can install dragonfly-energy which has dependencies on all the other libraries. Also see this post here which is a more organized version of what I wrote here:

Yes, as in we have finished developing a workflow language which we also use for creating simulation recipes for Ladybug Tools. This should give you a better idea of how things are designed.
The recipes that are used in this example are hosted here:
https://github.com/ladybug-tools/honeybee-radiance-recipe/tree/master/honeybee_radiance_recipe
As you can see there is only two of them currently available. We will transfer all the recipes at some point but it can take some time. What makes it a bit tricky is that the recipes that you see in that repository are auto-generated! The real recipe is written in a language called queenbee. We just added a Pythonic way to write Queenbee recipes to make it easier for everyone to develop their own recipes.
