[Met_help] [rt.rap.ucar.edu #95579] History for METplus setup

[Minna Win via RT]

----------------------------------------------------------------
  Initial Request
----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir/Madam,
     I am working from EMC, and just started learning the METplus. I
checked out the MET and METplus using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/NCAR/MET
git clone https://github.com/NCAR/METplus

    Then I run the scripts inside the directory METplus:
./build_components/build_MET.sh

A file named "env_vars.bash" is missing.
See more details from the error message.

Can you tell me how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much.
Qingfu

Hello Qingfu,

It looks like there is some confusion in setting up your METplus
components.  The METplus wrapper code is written in Python and does
not
need to be built, it is ready to run.  The MET component of METplus is
the
only code that needs to be compiled (built), as it was written in
C/C#.
Here is a link to the METplus wrapper documentation:

      https://ncar.github.io

It contains useful information on how to get started, with follow-
along use
cases.

You may not need to build MET, depending on which EMC machine you are
using.  You can refer to this link to see if the machine you are using
already has MET installed and compiled:


https://dtcenter.org/community-code/metplus/metplus-3-0-existing-
builds

If you need to compile MET, the instructions are located here:


https://dtcenter.org/community-code/model-evaluation-tools-
met/download

About halfway down that page is a generic installation script you can
use
to make installation a little easier.

I hope this helps you get started with METplus.

Regards,
Minna
