Installation

Dependencies

• ECCODES C library.

• numpy

• pyproj

• cython (only needed at build-time)

Instructions

The easiest way to get everything installed is to use pip:

>>> pip install pygrib

This will install all the dependencies for you (including the ECCODES C lib).

If you’re using Anaconda python, use conda:

>>> conda install -c conda-forge pygrib

Developing

To build from source, clone the github repository and run setup.py:

>>> git clone https://github.com/jswhit/pygrib
>>> cd pygrib
>>> ECCODES_DIR=path/to/eccodes python setup.py install

where $ECCODES_DIR is the path to the directory containing include/grib_api.h and lib/libeccodes.so. If ECCODES_DIR is not specified, a few common locations such as $CONDA_PREFIX,/usr,/usr/local,/opt/local will be searched.. Then run a test script to check if things are working cd test; python test.py
