User documentation including explanations, tutorials, and examples is available on Github
Project Status
The project is currently under active development. See CONTRIBUTING.md for information on how to contribute.
Note: The Python API is not entirely stable and is subject to change.
Installing pyRTE-RRTMGP
Installing with Mamba (recommended)
pyRTE-RRTMGP is available as a conda package for Linux (x86_64) and MacOS. You can install it from the conda-forge channel or, better, use mamba:
bash
mamba install pyrte_rrtmgp
This will install the package in your current conda environment. If you want to install the package in a different environment, activate your environment before running the conda install command above.
After installing the package, you can import it in your Python code:
python
import pyrte_rrtmgp
To verify your installation, you can run a set of tests with the following command:
bash
pyrte_rrtmgp run_tests
For platforms not supported by the conda package and alternatives to installing with conda, see the installation instructions in the documentation and the Contributor Guide.
