Hi Paria,

It is not very clear from the documentation, but the required libraries don't have to be installed explicitly on Windows, they are included in the Anaconda Python distribution. I have updated the website to make it less confusing. The installation steps are:

1. Install Anaconda 32-bit (Python 2.7 version) https://www.anaconda.com/download/.

     Note: Anaconda 64-bit or Python 3 won’t work.

2. Install the basemap package in the Anaconda Prompt:

      conda install basemap

3. Install ccplot using the supplied Windows installer.

You should be able to run ccplot in the Anaconda Prompt:

ccplot -V

Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10 should work fine, providing you install Anaconda 32-bit / Python 2.7.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best regards,

Peter
