Dear @awipslinuxuser,

thanks for writing in. I just verified it works when aiming for a development sandbox [1]:

git clone https://github.com/earthobservations/gribmagic.git
cd gribmagic
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python setup.py develop

python -V
Python 3.9.7

gribmagic --help

Commands:
  dwd      DWD GRIB data downloader.
  install  Install helper programs.
  smith    Toolsmith.
  unity    Unified NWP data downloader.

For a regular installation, you might just want to use pip, like:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install gribmagic --upgrade

Let me know if you still observe any problems. If so, please share a more detailed error message.

With kind regards, Andreas.

[1] There is also a section in the documentation about the development sandbox, see https://github.com/earthobservations/gribmagic/#development.

All right. This program does not have a GUI, please use the CLI.

@amotl the one script i cant run is in the demo folder that is magics.py it keeps saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "magics.py", line 4, in <module>
    from magics import macro as magics
  File "/home/kali/Desktop/gribmagic-main/demo/magics.py", line 4, in <module>
    from magics import macro as magics
ImportError: cannot import name macro

Dear @awipslinuxuser,

thanks for sharing the traceback. This essentially means that the Magics program and/or its Python bindings are not installed on your machine. There is some documentation about this at the section about the bbox tool, see [1]. YMMV.

In the best case, to get it running, you would invoke something along the lines of

apt-get install --yes libmagplus3v5
pip install gribmagic[plotting]

and then run the gribmagic program [2].

With kind regards, Andreas.

[1] https://github.com/earthobservations/gribmagic#run-bbox-tool [2] The main subsystems available from this package are exposed via the gribmagic program entrypoint, this is probably the CLI interface you might want to use. All programs in the demo folder are actually just scribbles, I probably should rename this folder to spikes.
