Some ECMWF tools and libraries have been bundled together in the ecmwf-toolbox package. This now provides, from a single place ecCodes, Magics, Metview and ODC.
| Tip |
|---|
Other packages such as ecFlow are still available in their classic standalone modules. If in doubt, you may run |
In order to use any of those, you just need to do:
| No Format |
|---|
module load ecmwf-toolbox |
| Warning |
|---|
The individual modules for ecCodes, Magics, Metview and ODC are no longer present. You must replace any loads of those modules by ecmwf-toolbox |

Using the ecmwf-toolbox from Python
Using the classic python3 installation
Make sure you have the ecmwf-toolbox loaded in your environment along with the python3
| No Format |
|---|
module load python3 ecmwf-toolbox |
Using a conda environment
You may create your own conda virtual environment and install the desired ECMWF tools there. By default, you would benefit from the predefined ECMWF conda channels containing ECMWF packages built specifically for our HPCF. For example, to create a conda environment with metview:
| No Format |
|---|
module load conda
conda create -n myenv metview |
See AG: Python support for more details.
Legacy software packages not available
Some of the existing software packages and services installed on our HPC systems, Linux servers and desktop systems in Reading have not been ported on the new platforms in Bologna.

ecmp
Metview/Python
...
- ecmp is a reduced version of the current ECMWF's Metpy giving the package a different name; porting to ecmp consists in changing import commands only
- migrating to Metview/Python would require more work but it is more future-proof (Python3)
...
As usually happens when we change HPC system or Linux servers, we will also discontinue some older versions of the remaining software packages installed, e.g. ecCodes, metview, etc
