Install from source

There is currently no xarray-topo release available at PyPi or conda-forge.

Be sure you have the required dependencies (numpy and xarray) installed first. You might consider using conda to install them:

$ conda install xarray numba numpy pip -c conda-forge

A good practice (especially for development purpose) is to install the packages in a separate environment, e.g. using conda:

$ conda create -n topo_py36 python=3.6 xarray numba numpy pip -c conda-forge
$ source activate topo_py36

Then you can clone the xarray-topo git repository and install it using pip locally:

$ git clone https://gitext.gfz-potsdam.de/sec55-public/xarray-topo
$ cd xarray-topo
$ pip install .

For development purpose, use the following command:

$ pip install -e .

Import xarray-topo

To make sure that xarray-topo is correctly installed, try import it in a Python console:

>>> import xtopo
