difficulty installing climateplots

[gaelforget]

I first installed ClimateTools via Pkg.add (got v0.14.5 somehow) then proceeded to install ClimatePlots as explained in the docs. But this approach lead to the error message below.

(v1.3) pkg> add ClimatePlots
 Resolving package versions...

update:

I went back and, instead of using Pkg.add, I cloned the repo and used Pkg.dev. This resolved the above error and now I have both ClimateTools and ClimatePlots compiled. Maybe all that's needed is an update to the docs?

Well, the initial pkg.add should have installed 0.18.x. I'll look into that.

[Balinus]

In a fresh environment, ClimateTools 0.18.1 and ClimatePlots 0.2.2 installs correctly.

Version 0.14.x from memory is before the migration. It should include ClimatePlots natively. Some other dependency is probably getting you back on ClimateTools.

I just included a notebook draft into https://github.com/JuliaClimate/GlobalOceanNotebooks to demo climatetools and climateplots functionalites.

The notebook is a first cut that I intend to improve etc but the more immediate issue is that climatetools does not seem to compile in binder.

Would be great if you could take a look and / or advise

Nice, thanks! :)

I'm also gonna try to improve the draft once I have some time. Seems like that when you load the precipitation dataset with data_units="mm" is not converted to mm (at least according to the contoured map. Will take a look.

Not sure about the binder issue about Ipopt. I'm gonna run the notebook on Binder and sees where it goes!

[Balinus]

The installation of ClimateTools on Binder was OK. ClimatePlots failed because of python distribution where it could not find matplotlib. Perhaps it's simply a matter of specifying ENV["PYTHON"]="" so that it uses Julia's python instead of binder distribution and rebuild PyCall?

ERROR: LoadError: InitError: PyError (PyImport_ImportModule

The Python package matplotlib could not be found by pyimport. Usually this means
that you did not install matplotlib in the Python version being used by PyCall.

PyCall is currently configured to use the Python version at:

/srv/conda/envs/notebook/bin/python3

and you should use whatever mechanism you usually use (apt-get, pip, conda,
etcetera) to install the Python package containing the matplotlib module.

One alternative is to re-configure PyCall to use a different Python
version on your system: set ENV["PYTHON"] to the path/name of the python
executable you want to use, run Pkg.build("PyCall"), and re-launch Julia.

I think this was mostly a matter of updating Project.toml. Feel free to reopen if it does not work!
