CDO and Python on Windows

Added by Ruth Petrie 10 months ago

Hi I am having some trouble getting CDO tools running on Windows, as shown below. I think I must be missing something fairly obviously.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ruth

hi Ruth!

There is no native windows binary for CDO. Which one do you use?

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for your quick reply. That would be my mistake then as I have no binary for CDO on windows. I have a WSL running with CDO working but I have trouble with the storage and linking to network drives so I thought that the python install would run on the Windows system and I could avoid the WSL. That is clearly not right, so the only other option for windows that I have is to try the Cygwin build, so I will try that.

Thanks,
Ruth

hi Ruth!

WSL can provide CDO, too. WSL is based on debian, which has a cdo package. apt-get install cdo should install it, see https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/wiki/Win32#Windows-10 for more.
