<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear NCl users,<br>
I am very new to NCL and would like to install NCL on my MAC laptop. <br>
It seems I have done the downloading and setting environment variable parts successfully, but<br>
when I run <i>ng4ex gsun01n -clean</i> (the example on NCL website) to see if the installation is completed.
<br>
what is returned by bash is:<br>
<blockquote><i>NCAR Graphics NCL Example <gsun01n></i><br>
<i>...[omitted]</i><br>
<i>...</i><br>
<i> Copy gsun01n.ncl</i><br>
<i>cp: ./gsun01n.ncl: Permission denied</i><br>
<br>
<i>Running NCL...</i><br>
<i>gsun01n.ncl: No such file or directory.</i><br>
<br>
<i>ncl failed. </i><br>
</blockquote>
I am not familiar with command lines at all so I suspect I've done something wrong.
<br>
Below is the environment variable and system information if that helps to understand what<br>
is going on..<br>
<blockquote><i>export NCARG_ROOT=/Users/Crystal/usr/local/ncl-6.2.0</i><br>
<i>export PATH=$NCARG_ROOT/bin:$PATH</i><br>
</blockquote>
The 'ncl-6.2.0' directory contains 3 folders: 'bin','include' and 'lib'.<br>
<br>
The version of NCL I downloaded is 'ncl_ncarg-6.2.0.MacOS_10.8_64bit_nodap_gcc471.tar' and I<br>
am able to unzip the tarfile. The Mac version is 10.8.5.<br>
<br>
I am really hoping to get NCL installed as it seems to have excellent functionality for climate analysis!<br>
<br>
Thank you all
