A xcube plugin that that allows generating data cubes from the CMEMS API.
In order to access the CMEMS API via the xcube-cmems
plugin, you need to create a
cmems account
first, if you not do already have one.
This section describes three alternative methods you can use to install the xcube-cmems plugin.
conda can sometimes be inconveniently slow when resolving an environment. If this causes problems, consider using mamba as a much faster drop-in alternative to conda.
xcube-cmems
and all necessary dependencies (including xcube itself) are available
on conda-forge, and can be installed using the
conda package manager.
The conda package manager itself can be obtained in the miniconda
distribution.
Once conda is installed, xcube-cmems can be installed like this:
$ conda create --name xcube-cmems-environment --channel conda-forge xcube-cmems
$ conda activate xcube-cmems-environment
The name of the environment may be freely chosen.
This method assumes that you have an existing conda environment, and you want
to install xcube-cmems
into it.
xcube-cmems can also be installed into an existing conda environment. With the existing environment activated, execute this command:
$ conda install --channel conda-forge xcube-cmems
Once again, xcube and any other necessary dependencies will be installed automatically if they are not already installed.
If you want to install xcube-cmems directly from the git repository (for example if order to use an unreleased version or to modify the code), you can do so as follows:
$ conda create --name xcube-cmems-environment --channel conda-forge --only-deps xcube-cmems
$ conda activate xcube-cmems-environment
$ git clone https://github.com/dcs4cop/xcube-cmems.git
$ python -m pip install --no-deps --editable xcube-cmems/
This installs all the dependencies of xcube-cmems
into a fresh conda environment,
then installs xcube-cmems into this environment from the repository.
You can run the unit tests for xcube-cmems
by executing
$ pytest
in the xcube-cmems
repository. Note that, in order to successfully run the
tests using the current repository version of xcube-cmems
, you may also need to
install the repository source version of xcube
rather than its latest conda-forge
release and have the cmems credentials set as environment variables CMEMS_USERNAME
and CMEMS_PASSWORD
.
To create a test coverage report, you can use
pytest --cov xcube_cmems --cov-report html
This will write a coverage report to htmlcov/index.html
.
Jupyter notebooks demonstrating the use of the xcube-cmems
plugin can be found
in the examples/notebooks/
subdirectory of the repository.
To release xcube-cmems
, please follow the steps outlined in the
xcube Developer Guide.
