CliMT is a Python-based software component toolkit which provides a flexible, multi-purpose problem-solving environment geared to climate science problems.
See http://people.su.se/~rcaba/climt for further details.
- Python 2.4 or higher
- Numpy 1.0 or higher
- GNU gcc and a Fortran compiler
Make sure you have a git client installed. Most operating systems have a git client available, you can choose any.
To obtain CliMT, use the following command:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/CliMT/climt-python.git
Please note the recursive keyword. Without this, the dynamical core will not be downloaded.
Make sure that numpy is installed, and that the version of f2py on your path is the one installed by numpy. Then:
python setup.py build
will build the package using the default fortran compiler. For information on the compilers available on your platform:
f2py -c --help-fcompiler
To build with a different compiler:
python setup.py build --fcompiler=
where is one of the choices offered by f2py above.
When the build is complete:
python setup.py install --prefix=
You can also install the "lite" version of CliMT, used in Ray Pierrehumbert's book "Principles of Planetary Climate", by doing
python setup.py install --lite
