I'm trying to combine two of my hobbies Linux and sailing. So i'll have to tacle some issues when i want to use my laptop on board. This time i want to see some weather forecasts and i want to use grib files for that. Luckely i've found the program GrADS which should be able to display those grib files. Step one is installing the program.
With some linux experience you shoud be able to follow the steps i took:
- Download the program from http://www.iges.org/grads/downloads.html I've used the GrADS 1.9b4 LinuxRH9 binaries
- Download the data.tar.Z from the same page
- install libncurses5-dev with apt-get install libncurses5-dev
- Link the correct library:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtermcap.so /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2
- untar the program, i prefere /usr/local/programname with links to /usr/local/bin
cd /usr/local
sudo tar -zxf grads-bin-1.9b4-linuxRH9.tar.gz
- cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/grads-1.9b4/bin/* . (don't forget the dot)
- Now the data part. I prefere the data with the program in /usr/local and some links to the right places:
cd /usr/local/grads-1.9b4
sudo mkdir data
cd data
sudo tar -zxf data.tar.Z
cd /usr/local/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/grads-1.9b4/data grads
- The program is installed!! For the moment you can find some tutoriol on http://www.iges.org/grads/gadoc/tutorial.html .I will post more info on how to use this program later on.
