Installing XCast

XCast is distributed as-is on Anaconda on my hallkjc01 conda channel.

However, I recommend using this sequence of commands to set up a jupyter notebook kernel for XCast work:

conda create -c conda-forge -c hallkjc01 -n xcast_env xcast xarray netcdf4 matplotlib cartopy cfgrib jupyter ipykernel 
conda activate xcast_env
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=xcast_env

You’ll then be able to run jupyter notebooks under the xcast_env kernel, and have access to xcast. If you encounter any issues, please raise an issue on XCast’s Issues page on github.
