    Warning

    This version of the library provides support for both Python 2.7.x and Python 3.

    For languages other than Python please see Web-API Downloads

    You can install the ecmwfapi python library by running on Unix/Linux:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    sudo pip install https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/download/attachments/56664858/ecmwf-api-client-python.tgz

    or on Windows:

    Code Block
    languagetext
    pip install https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/download/attachments/56664858/ecmwf-api-client-python.tgz

    If you cannot run the sudo or pip commands, just download the ecmwf-api-client-python.tgz. Extract its content and copy the module ecmwfapi to a directory pointed by the environment variable PYTHONPATH. Alternatively you can use the --user option of pip to install it in $HOME/.local/lib :

    Code Block
    pip install --user https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/download/attachments/56664858/ecmwf-api-client-python.tgz
