4. Installation

4.1. Python version support

NetSSE requires a Python version of 3.12 (or any later version) to be installed in the environment. It is also required to have the pip package manager installed.

If you do not have Python installed, you can download it from the Python website.

4.2. Installing NetSSE

To use NetSSE, install it in a virtual environment using pip:

(.venv) $ python3 -m pip install netsse

This will also install or update the Python packages that NetSSE is dependent on, when needed.

4.3. Dependencies

NetSSE depends on a number of other open-source Python packages, of which all of the necessary are automatically installed when using the pip install manager. The required package versions are as follows:

numpy>=2.0.0
scipy>=1.14.0
matplotlib>=3.8.4
geopy>=2.4.1
cartopy>=0.24.1
cdsapi>=0.7.5
