[ncl-install] load command not found

[Kevin Hallock]

Hi Dawit,

“load” is an NCL command, so if you try to run it in bash it will return an error (as you experienced below). When you run NCL, your command line prompt should change from
Dagemawes-MacBook-Pro:~ dawitabebe$ 
to
ncl 0> 

Once you see the NCL prompt, then you should be able to run the “load” command:
ncl 0> load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"

Also, while it used to be necessary to explicitly load gsn_code.ncl, gsn_csm.ncl, and contributed.ncl, these files are automatically loaded in NCL version 6.4.0.

I hope this helps,
Kevin

Through step-by-step use of “cd" and “ls” commands I confirmed that the files that wanted to load (i.e. gun_code.ncl,  gsn_csm.ncl, and contributed.ncl) are there is in the “csm”directory. According to the command “which nil” , I am operating from myncl/bin/ncl (see below). I think, I should change this part of the path to myncl/lib instead of myncl/bin to reach to the files I wanted to load. Is my logic correct? If that should be done, how should I change this path? If my assumption is wrong all together, kindly get me to right direction.
