[ncl-install] ncl-install Digest, Vol 146, Issue 5

[Andrei Kurbatov]

Dear Piotr,
In the past I was able to  install NCL on several Mac OS's, Debian 9 and 10 using conda that comes with  Anaconda distribution of python.

After you install anaconda:
https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/
(I usually install Python 3.*)
 at the command prompt  type:
  conda create -n ncl -c conda-forge ncl

it will create a new ncl environment and will install the latest stable NCL from conda-forge

to start using ncl type: conda activate ncl
(ncl) user-xxx:~ avk$ ncl
