Install using conda forge (recommended)

We offer an installation for conda users under linux-64 or osx-64. Support for Windows is not available yet.

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pcmdi_metrics

All Platforms System Requirements

• Install the Anaconda for Python 3.9 package (we recommend installing this for each user)
  • Alternatives include Miniconda or Miniforge/Mambaforge
  • If using Anaconda or Miniconda, we recommend also installing mamba for better performance
• Make sure anaconda is in your PATH (assuming anaconda is installed in ${HOME}/anaconda
  • export PATH=${HOME}/anaconda/bin:${PATH} # for [ba]sh
  • setenv PATH ${HOME}/anaconda/bin:${PATH} # for [t]csh

Make sure you have no environment variables set from an old UV-CDAT installation in your PATH/PYTHONPATH,LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc

Bypassing firewalls

If your institution has tight ssl certificate/security issues try:

• conda config --set ssl_verify False
• binstar config --set ssl_verify False

Installing the PCMDI Metrics Package (PMP)

You can install the PCMDI Metrics package from the PCMDI conda-forge channel. For the best performance, use mamba. For faster installation without mamba, specify versions of python and pcmdi_metrics.

• Create a new virtual environment and install PMP
  • Using mamba
    mamba create -n [YOUR_CONDA_ENVIRONMENT] -c conda-forge pcmdi_metrics
  • Using conda
    conda create -n [YOUR_CONDA_ENVIRONMENT] -c conda-forge python=[VERSION] pcmdi_metrics=[VERSION]
    e.g. conda create -n pcmdi_metrics -c conda-forge python=3.10 pcmdi_metrics=3.0.1
  • or
    • conda create -n [YOUR_CONDA_ENVIRONMENT]
    • conda activate [YOUR_CONDA_ENVIRONMENT]
    • conda install -c conda-forge python=[VERSION] pcmdi_metrics=[VERSION]
• Install PMP in the current (or existing) virtual environment
  • mamba install -c conda-forge pcmdi_metrics
  • or
    conda install -c conda-forge pcmdi_metrics
