Installation#
Important
The following commands will install bmi-wavewatch3 into your current environment. Although not necessary, we highly recommend you install bmi-wavewatch3 into its own virtual environment.
In order to use bmi-wavewatch3 you will first need Python. While not necessary, we recommend using the Anaconda Python distribution as it provides a large number of third-party packages useful for scientific computing.
To install bmi-wavewatch3, simply run the following in your terminal of choice:
conda install mamba -c conda-forge
mamba install bmi-wavewatch3 -c nodefaults -c conda-forge
conda install bmi-wavewatch3 -c nodefaults -c conda-forge
pip install bmi-wavewatch3
Important
Due to an issue with the eccodes package, Windows users and users of newer versions of Python may see an error when trying to run bmi-wavewatch3 that has been installed from PyPI (i.e. using the pip method above). If you encounter this problem, try installing using conda/mamba.
If you would like the very latest development version of bmi-wavewatch3 or want to modify or contribute code to the bmi-wavewatch3 project, you will need to do a developer installation of bmi-wavewatch3 from source.
