Installation

Stable release

The latest stable release of wavespectra package can be installed using pip or conda.

Install using pip

To install wavespectra, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install wavespectra

For the full install which includes netcdf4 and some other extra libraries run this command:

$ pip install wavespectra[extra]

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Install from conda

$ conda install -c conda-forge wavespectra

Note

Wavespectra requires a Fortran compiler such as gfortran available on the system when installing with pip in order to build the watershed partitioning module. Installation from conda-forge includes pre-compiled versions of the code so the compiler is not required.

From sources

The sources for wavespectra can be downloaded from the Github repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/wavespectra/wavespectra

Or download the tarball:

$ curl -o wavespectra.tar.gz -L https://github.com/wavespectra/wavespectra/tarball/master
$ tar xzf wavespectra.tar.gz

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it from the base project directory with:

$ pip install .

Again, include the [extra] tag for the full install:

$ pip install ./[extra]

please make sure a Fortran compiler is available when installing from source.
