Setup and Installation

Dependencies

This software is dependent on open source programs that can be installed using OS-specific package management systems, conda or from source:

• GDAL

• GEOS

• PROJ

• HDF5

• netCDF

The version of GDAL used within pointAdvection will match the version of the installed C program. The path to the C program that will be used with pointAdvection is given by:

gdal-config --datadir

The pointAdvection installation uses the gdal-config routines to set the GDAL package version.
