How to install!

the newest OGGM developer version has to be installed in order that MBsandbox works: e.g. do:

$ conda create --name env_mb
$ source activate env_mb
$ git clone  https://github.com/OGGM/oggm.git
$ cd oggm 
$ pip install -e .
$ cd .. 
$ git clone https://github.com/OGGM/massbalance-sandbox
$ cd massbalance-sandbox
$ pip install -e .

Test the installation via pytest while being in the massbalance-sandbox folder:

$ pytest .

(Attention, this can take a long time. As it downloads several climate datasets and example ensemble projections into the future. If you only want to use W5E5 climate data, run instead:

$ pytest -v -m "not no_w5e5"

The MBsandbox package can be imported in python by

>>> import MBsandbox
