With version 4.8.0, Metview is being built by default with ecCodes instead of GRIB-API for GRIB handling. See November synchronised release news item for more information. |
Overview
From version 4.5, Metview uses CMake for its compilation and installation. This is part of the process of homogenising the installation procedures for all ECMWF packages.

| Compilers | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| C++ | http://gcc.gnu.org/ | ||
| Fortran | http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/ | ||
| Utilities | |||
make | http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ | ||
Third party packages (best installed through system package manager) | |||
| Qt | http://www.qt.io/ | if Metview's user interface is required (version 4.6.2 or later of Qt is needed). Note that on some systems it is also necessary to install the libQtWebKit-devel development package (it may have different names on different systems) | |
| gdbm | http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/gdbm/ | ||
| bash | https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ | ||
| ImageMagick | http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php | if Metview's user interface is required | |
| proj | http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ | if OPERA radar data support is required | |
| netcdf 4 | http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ | Please note: You also need to install the legacy C++ interface and HDF5 | |
| curl | Optional for web services support (WMS, Download module) | ||
| bison | |||
| flex | |||
| ECMWF libraries | |||
| grib-api | GRIB-API Home | Alternatively you can use ECC | |
| emoslib | EMOS | ||
| odb-api | ODB-API Home | if ODB support needed | |
| magics | Magics | if plotting support is needed. Note that Magics should be configured with the -DENABLE_METVIEW=ON option. For a 'pure batch' installation of Metview with no user interface, it is possible to supply Magics with the option -DENABLE_METVIEW_NO_QT=ON
