[pyngl-talk] Help with PyNIO installation

Hi, Kevin:

Thank you so much! That played the trick. Finally I got all three of them working along with basemap on an Ubuntu virtual machine without any warning messages. The order of installing different packages and the updating of packages seem important though.

Now, I am trying to get it to work on my Mac. All of them worked fine with my Mac installation of Anaconda. However, when I tried to use the same way to update NGL and NIO, the entire anaconda seemed messed up. I tried reinstall, still have the following messages when importing Nio, I don't know what to do:

Hi Xingang,

Could you please try running “conda install -c conda-forge pyngl pynio” instead of “conda install -c ncar -c khallock pyngl pynio”?

Previously, using the channels “ncar” and “khallock” (with the flags “-c ncar” and “-c khallock”) was the only way to install PyNIO and PyNGL using conda, but we have since uploaded PyNIO, PyNGL, and NCL to the conda-forge channel. Conda-forge provides excellent compatibility between packages in order to avoid the dependency issues you experienced, so I would strongly recommend using “-c conda-forge” in your case.

Hi, Kevin:

I am installing the packages in virtual machine that runs Ubuntu. I got it worked one time, but when I later found that I needed basemap. So, I reinstalled everything and nw got a question I don't understand. The following was what I did:

Install anaconda
Conda update --all
Created a new environment where:
     netcdf4 and basemap were installed
Cloned the above environment for adding NGL packages, where:
     pygrib was installed (conda install –c conda-forge pygrib
     Then, when I try to install: conda install –c ncar –c khallock pyngl pynio
           The following messages were given:

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - h5py -> hdf5 1.8.13|1.8.14|1.8.15.1|1.8.16|1.8.9
  - h5py -> numpy 1.11*|1.5*|1.6*|1.7*|1.8*
  - h5py -> python 2.6*|3.3*|3.4*|3.5*
  - pynio
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

First, I don't understand who and who are in conflict. Second, how to get around?

I remember the time I got pygrib, Nio, Ngl imported without problem was when I didn't have basemap in the same new environment (just create a new environment for my use, not cloned one). But I hope I can have them all in the same place.

Your help is much appreciated!

Hi Xingang,

You’re welcome!

While Anaconda can be installed on Windows, we only have Mac OS X and Linux 64-bit versions of PyNGL or PyNIO available on Anaconda. In your case, I think Linux virtual machines would probably be the best/simplest option.

Hi, Kevin:

Thank you so much for getting back with me!

I am trying anaconda on my MacBook Pro.

One question: Can anaconda be installed on Windows system with the PyNGL and PyNIO, pygrib to work? Or it has to be on a virtual machine. Our lab have all windows machines. Thanks!

Subject: Re: [pyngl-talk] Help with PyNIO installation

Hi,

Is there any chance you could possibly use Anaconda/Miniconda on these virtual machines instead of Enthought Canopy? As far as I am aware, there is no easy way for us to create and distribute a version of our software that is built against Enthought Canopy’s libraries.

However, we do have up-to-date versions PyNGL and PyNIO (and NCL) available on the "conda-forge” Anaconda channel, which also hosts many other commonly used scientific packages (including pygrib!). Unfortunately, Anaconda and Enthought Canopy may not be compatible; in order for Anaconda to work properly, its provided python needs to be the “default” python.

We have information regarding the installation of Anaconda/Miniconda on the PyNGL/PyNIO download page: https://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Download/

In order to use the recommended "conda-forge" versions (different from the example on the linked page), create a conda environment using a command such as:
conda create --name <env_name> --channel conda-forge pynio pyngl

and then activate the environment:
source activate <env_name>

Note that “<env_name>” can be whatever you would like your conda environment to be named; for example, the linked documentation above uses “pyn_test”.

If using Anaconda/Miniconda is not possible, then we will have to further troubleshoot building PyNIO from source code.

Please let us know if this information helps!

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,

I am using Enthought Canopy as my default python. I would like to get PyNIO and PyNGL installed.

I have tried to download the prebuilt binaries, none of them work for my Ubuntu environment (I have to use the VirtualBox and have a Virtual Machine of Ubuntu system on my windows machines for our classroom use, because I wanted to have pygrib, PyNIO, and PyNGL). Although the prebuilt packages worked for my MacBook Pro, where the Canopy was also installed.

Then I had to try to install from the source code of PyNIO. I have followed the instructions online at https://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Download/build_pynio_from_src.shtml<https://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Download/build_pynio_from_src.shtml#HDF4>.
And all non-optional packages have been installed without problem. However, when I get down to install PyNIO, it seemed installed, but the import Nio showed the following error messages:

import Nio

PLEASE help see what's the problem. While installing, I have the following environment variables set:

export F2CLIBS_PREFIX=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
