[ncl-talk] ncl installation using homebrew

[Saji Hameed]

Hi Ryan,

This sound quite cool. I have a question.

> 1) Download the appropriate NCL binary for your version of OS X from the
Earth System Grid

Does it bypass the need to have an account in ESG?  I thought that one
needed to login to ESG prior to downloading
products out there?  Or does the installation ask for login credentials?

cheers,
saji
