<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Dear Zhuldyz Darynova,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">You need to subscribe to ncl-install before you can send email to it:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/ncl-install">http://mailman.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/ncl-install</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">We do not have a pure Windows version of NCL, so that's why the instructions are more complex. You basically have two options:</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">1) Install Cygwin/X and run NCL from that application.</div><div class="gmail_default">2) Install Windows 10 and the Linux subsystem and run NCL in that environment.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">We recommend option #2, but you would need to upgrade to Windows 10 first.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">If you can't upgrade to Windows 10, then you can only go with option #1. </div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Instructions for downloading and installing Cygwin/X can be found here:</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/windows_cygwin.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/windows_cygwin.shtml</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Hopefully the step-by-step instructions are pretty clear. You only need to do these steps once, and you will then be able to run NCL on your system just by opening a Cygwin/X window and running the "ncl" command from there.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">For a video on installing Cygwin, you can google for "video on how to install Cygwin//x".</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Here's one I found:</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjxEH_tr7e0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjxEH_tr7e0</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Note: this video is for Cygwin and not Cygwin/X, but the instructions are pretty much the same. You just want to point your browser at <a href="http://x.cygwin.org">x.cygwin.org</a> instead of <a href="http://cygwin.com">cygwin.com</a>, and you want to download the "setup-x86.exe" program instead of "setup.exe".</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">At the 4:12 point in the video, it talks about how to select various packages for Cygwin. The <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/windows_cygwin.shtml">URL</a> I gave you above gives you a list of Cygwin packages that you need, so be sure to watch this part of the video for an understanding of how to get the various packages required. You don't need to install all the packages that the instructor is talking about, but you can use the same method he uses to install the ones required by NCL.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">I did find a video explicitly for installing Cygwin/X, but the video is fuzzy on my high-res Mac monitor and it has some weird elevator music:</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neWFnpRy6Ug">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neWFnpRy6Ug</a><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Good luck,</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">--Mary</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 10:58 AM, Zhuldyz Darynova <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zhuldyz.darynova@nu.edu.kz" target="_blank">zhuldyz.darynova@nu.edu.kz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Good day!</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I am Chemical Engineering student from Kazakhstan, who is really need NCL program for research purposes.
