Installation

The easiest way to install NetCDF-SCM is with conda

# if you're using a conda environment, make sure you're in it
conda install -c conda-forge netcdf-scm

If you do install it this way, we think (but aren’t yet completely sure) that you will also need to install (at least) the minimal pip requirements. At the moment these have to be read out of setup.py manually, we are working on automating this.

It is also possible to install it with pip

# if you're using a virtual environment, make sure you're in it
pip install netcdf-scm

However installing with pip requires installing all of Iris’s dependencies yourself which is not trivial. As far as we know, Iris cannot be installed with pip alone.
