While some bugs are currently being ironed out with the conda-forge .. note::
installation, wrf-python is also available at::
$ conda install -c bladwig wrf-python If you use conda to install wrf-python on a supercomputer like
Yellowstone or Cheyenne, we recommend that you do not load any python
related modules via the 'module load' command. The packages installed
by the 'module load' system will not play nicely with packages installed
via conda.
Further, some systems will install python packages to a ~/.local directory,
which will be found by the miniconda python interpreter and cause various
import problems. If you have a ~/.local directory, we strongly suggest
renaming it (mv ~/.local ~/.local_backup).
Installing on Yellowstone
----------------------------
On Yellowstone, wrf-python can also be installed using the module load system,
if this is preferred over using conda.
Unfortunately, because wrf-python requires newer dependencies, it is not
available using the 'all-python-libs' module, so many of the dependencies
need to be manually installed (most are for xarray).
Also, make sure you are running in the gnu/4.8.2 compiler environment or
you will get import errors for a missing libquadmath library when you
go to import wrf-python.
To install::
module load gnu/4.8.2 or module swap intel gnu/4.8.2
module load python/2.7.7
module load numpy/1.11.0 wrapt/1.10.10 scipy/0.17.1 bottleneck/1.1.0 numexpr/2.6.0 pyside/1.1.2 matplotlib/1.5.1 pandas/0.18.1 netcdf4python/1.2.4 xarray/0.8.2
module load wrf-python/1.0.1
