In particular, you can use the python interface to R and use all the packages available in R. The point is: depending on what you have to do, use the best tool for the job at hand. The EPD environment has a much broader collection of statistical algorithms, but this only matters if you need them.</div>

<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" target="_blank">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/" target="_blank">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. Currently this is Python
2.7, so get</div>
<div><br></div>
<div> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/basemap-1.0.1/basemap-1.0.1.win32-py2.7.exe/download" target="_blank">basemap-1.0.1.win32-py2.7.exe</a></div>
<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" target="_blank">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" target="_blank">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>
