Dear PyGrADS Users,<br><div><br></div><div><div> From now on we are recommending that PyGrADS be used with the Enthought Python Distribution (EPD):</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="https://enthought.com/products/epd.php" target="_blank">https://enthought.com/products/epd.php</a></div>
<div><br></div><div> EPD includes many scientific and statistical libraries needed in day to day data analysis. It also saves you the trouble of resolving all the dependencies needed for PyGrADS. It works on many platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The complete EPD is free for academic use, but there is a fee for commercial use, consult the URL above for details. There is also a limited EPD Free Edition that partially works with pygrads (basemaps are missing). (I'll be posting instructions on how to modify the EPD Free Edition for a fully functional PyGrADS.)</div>
<div><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you would like to install the EPD Free edition on Windows here is some useful information. Get EPD Free from:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://enthought.com/repo/free">http://enthought.com/repo/free</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>As I mentioned before, EPD Free is missing the basemap package that pygrads needs.</div><div>On Windows you can get the pre-compiled basemap package from:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/basemap-1.0.1/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/basemap-1.0.1/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Get the package that matches the EPD Free version.

<div><br></div><div>After that, install pygrads proper:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/python-grads/1.1.b5/pygrads-1.1.b5.win32.exe/download">pygrads-1.1.b5.win32.exe</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>And of course, make sure you have the opengrads Win32 superpack installed:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/grads2-windows/2.0.a9.oga.1/grads-2.0.a9.oga.1-win32_superpack.exe/download">grads-2.0.a9.oga.1-win32_superpack.exe</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>PyGrADS should be available on your [Start] menu.</div><div><br></div><div> Good Luck,</div><div><br></div><div> Arlindo</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>-- <br>Arlindo da Silva<br><a href="mailto:dasilva@alum.mit.edu">dasilva@alum.mit.edu</a><br>
