Installation¶

Requirements¶

xcape is compatible with python 3. It requires numpy and, optionally, xarray.

The easiest way to install xcape along with its dependencies is via conda forge:

conda install -c conda-forge xcape

An alternative is to use pip:

pip install xcape

This will install the latest release from pypi.

xcape is under active development. To obtain the latest development version, you may clone the source repository and install it:

git clone https://github.com/xgcm/xcape.git
cd xcape
python setup.py install

or simply:

pip install git+https://github.com/xgcm/xcape.git

Users are encouraged to fork xcape and submit issues and pull requests.
