1. Installation¶

Note that Python 3.6 is required for pamtra2. A few libraries are required. For Ubuntu Trusty (16.04), do

sudo apt-get install gcc gfortran liblapack-dev libfftw3-dev

For mac OS (see Troubleshooting if you use MacOS 10.14), make sure the developer tools are installed

xcode-select --install

and use a package manager like https://brew.sh/ to install

brew install lapack fftw gcc

or conda

conda install fftw lapack gcc

In order to install the python dependencies, do

pip install numpy scipy xarray json dask numba cython netcdf4

or

conda install numpy scipy xarray json dask numba cython netcdf4

if you are a conda user. Note that for pip, you likely have to use either sudo or the –user flag.

Then, you can install pamtra2 with

python setup.py install [flag]

the flag –user will install the package under user’s home and it is useful if you do not have root privileges. If you are actively developing,

python setup.py develop [flag]

is recommended. In case you want to run the tests, you also need

pytest

For building the documentation, please install

sphinx
nbsphinx
ipykernel
pandoc

2. Troubleshooting¶

Apple removed some required libraris in MacOS Mojave 10.14. If you get an error like ::: limits.h:168:61: fatal error: limits.h: No such file or directory #include_next <limits.h> /* recurse down to the real one */

please download and install the Command Line Tools from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and then install the required libraries with

open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
