Installation

pyLBL requires python 3 (>= version 3.6) and requires the following:

• matplotlib

• netCDF4

• numpy

• scipy

• sqlalchemy

• xarray

Installing from Conda Forge

The preferred way to install pyLBL is with conda. Users may it find it useful to create their own conda environment and install the model inside it by running:

# Optional: If the user would like to set up a custom conda environment.
conda config --add envs_dirs <location>
conda config --add pkgs_dirs <location>
conda create -n <name>
conda activate <name>

conda install -c conda-forge pyLBL

Here the <name> of the environment can be anything the user desires and the <location> paths can be in user-writeable locations (if for example users are not allowed to write to system directories).

Installing from Github

pyLBL can also be obtained from github by running:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/GRIPS-code/pyLBL.git
cd pyLBL
python3 setup.py install
