Re: Question on ccplot installation

[Peter K. <pe...@pe...>]

Hi Suqian,

The libhdf4 and libhdfeos2 libraries should be installed from the Linux
distribution repositories (not conda). If you use a Debian-derived
distribution (e.g. Ubuntu), use this apt install command:

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends python3 python3-dev gcc
python3-distutils cython3 libhdf4-dev libhdfeos-dev python3-pil
python3-numpy python3-matplotlib python3-mpltoolkits.basemap
ttf-bitstream-vera

The installation instructions on the website are for native Python
installed from Linux distribution repositories. Installation under
conda would require some other steps not described on the website:

- Install git and libgeos, on Debian or Ubuntu with:

apt install git libgeos-dev

- Install basemap from their GitHub repository. Installing basemap with
  `conda install` does not work because the package appears to be out of
  date.

pip3 install git+https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap.git

- Install ccplot under conda (without using `sudo`):

python3 setup.py install

I have tested this on Ubuntu 21.04 with the latest Anaconda 3.

What Linux distribution are you using?

Kind regards,

Peter
