Metview
...
There are three types of Metview release referred to in these pages:
- Test version: this is an internal release at ECMWF (usually also available on the Member States server ecgate) which contains the latest features and fixes. It can be updated from time to time, and so should not be considered stable. It is run with the command metview4_new. Once a test version has been in use for some time, it becomes a User version.
- User version: this is an internal release at ECMWF (usually also available on the Member States server ecgate) which has undergone a period of testing and will not be changed without notice. It is run with the command metview4.
- Export version: released as a source code tarball for external users to install at their own local sites. Please see the licence.
on conda
Metview is available on conda for both Linux and macOS. From a conda environment, the following command will install Metview without any need to compile from source:
| Code Block |
|---|
conda install -c conda-forge metview |
Once installed, Metview can be updated with this command:
| Code Block |
|---|
conda update -c conda-forge metview |
There is also a batch-only version of Metview on conda, called metview-batch. This does not include the graphical user interface and is therefore more lightweight and can be used in environments such as Binder. It does include the ability to produce graphical plots, and they must be generated as files (PNG, PDF, SVG, ...) or as inline plots in Jupyter notebooks.
| Code Block |
|---|
conda install -c conda-forge metview-batch |
Metview's Python bindings can then be installed like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
conda install -c conda-forge metview-python |
