## Introduction
Tawhiri is the name given to the next version of the CUSF Landing Prediction Software, which will probably be different enough from the current version (see below) to warrant a new name.
The name comes from a [Māori](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81ori_people) god of weather, which rather aptly “drove Tangaroa and his progeny into the sea ” [(WP)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawhiri).
## More information
Please see the [CUSF wiki](http://www.cusf.co.uk/wiki/), which contains pages on [Tawhiri](http://www.cusf.co.uk/wiki/tawhiri:start) and [prediction in general](http://www.cusf.co.uk/wiki/landing_predictor).
[More detailed API and setup documentation](http://tawhiri.cusf.co.uk/).
## Setup
### Predictor
…is written for Python 3, is compatible with Python 2, and needs Cython:
`bash $ virtualenv venv $ source venv/bin/activate $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace `
The last line (re-)builds the Cython extensions, and needs to be run again after modifying any .pyx files.
### Downloader
The downloader uses gevent, so we are disappointingly restricted to running it under Python 2 for now (Issue #18).
`bash $ sudo aptitude install libevent-dev libjasper-dev libopenjpeg-dev libpng-dev `
Acquire a sufficiently modern version of libgrib-api-dev from APT. The version in 12.04 is too old. 1.10.4 is known to work.
`bash $ virtualenv -p python2 venv $ source venv/bin/activate $ pip install numpy $ pip install pygrib==2.0.0 pyproj 'gevent<1.0' `
