Installation

Python Package Index

The easiest way of installing enstools is using pip:

>>> pip install enstools-compression

Dependencies

Besides the dependencies that are handled by pip, GEOS is required by cartopy which is a dependency of enstools. In Ubuntu it can be installed by doing:

>>> apt install libgeos-dev

Workaround for GEOS

In case the user has no root permissions and don’t manage to install GEOS it is possible to install enstools without cartopy. To do that:

1. Install enstools without its dependencies:

   >>> pip install enstools --no-deps
   

2. Get list of missing dependencies and ignore cartopy:

   >>> pip check | cut -d "," -f 1 | cut -d " " -f 4 | grep -v "cartopy" > pending_requirements.txt
   

3. Install the pending requirements:

   >>> pip install -r pending_requirements.txt
   

4. Finally, install enstools-compression

   >>> pip install enstools-compression
   

This will allow the installation of enstools-compression but it won’t be possible to use enstools features that require cartopy.

For development

A convenient way to install enstools for development is to make a local copy of the repository and install it as an editable package:

>>> git clone https://github.com/wavestoweather/enstools-compression
>>> pip install -e enstools-compression/
