Ensemble Tools - Compression

This package extends Ensemble Tools with several tools to enable compression for weather data.

Installation using pip

pip is the easiest way to install enstools-compression along with all dependencies, including the main enstools package. It is recommended and not necessary to do that in a separate virtual environment.

Preparation of a local environment

The steps outlined here can be done inside of a working-copy of this, repository. The created directory venv will be ignored by git.

At first create a new python virtual environment:

python3 -m venv --prompt=enstools-compression venv

That will create a new folder venv containing the new environment. To use this environment, we need to activate it:

source venv/bin/activate

Next we need to update pip and install wheel. Both are required in up-to-date versions for the installation to run:

pip install --upgrade pip wheel

Installation

For development, you can create a clone of this repository and install that local copy in development mode into your virtual environment. This is especially useful if you plan to edit the code of enstools-compression. Python scripts using the virtual environment will immediately see all your changes with the need to reinstall anything.

git clone https://github.com/wavestoweather/enstools-compression.git
cd enstools-compression
pip install -e .

If you have no plans to modify any code, then you can install enstools-compression without creating a local working-copy before:

pip install enstools-compression
