 ==== Installing Miniconda3 ====
-We have installed a new version of Miniconda3 (steps below adapted from the [[other:uvcdat:conda_notes#installing_miniconda|installing miniconda]] instructions)
+  * You don't need to be (and **you should not be**) //root// when you install Miniconda3. You just need enough disk space where you have write access
+  * If you are installing Miniconda3 in a Linux environment on a [[other:win10wsl|Windows 10 computer using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)]], pay special attention to the instructions on the **WSL** lines
-  * Get the [[https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh|Python 3.7 Linux 64-bit (bash installer)]] (unless there is a [[https://conda.io/miniconda.html|more recent version?]])
+The steps below are adapted from the older (but with lots of extra and possibly useful details) [[other:uvcdat:conda_notes#installing_miniconda|installing miniconda]] instructions
-    * Find some temporary space on Linux or Windows

   * Execute the installer
     * ''bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh''
       * Accept the license
-      * Specify an explicit installation path **outside of the home directory**, with enough disk space (more than 3G if you are going to install UV-CDAT and some extra packages), preferably on a disk that is not backed up:

+==== Installing CLIMAF ====
+The [[https://climaf.readthedocs.io/|CLIMAF]] installation is a special case, because we may want to use it with the Python installed for CDAT, but it is not installed using conda
+We follow the steps for the [[https://climaf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html#installing-climaf-if-you-are-not-at-cnrm-on-ciclad-or-climserv|installation of a non-standard server]]
+  * Go to the appropriate installation directory (we choose the directory where we have also installed miniconda3):
+    * LSCE: ''cd /home/share/unix_files/cdat''
+    * ciclad: ''/data/jypmce/cdat/''
+  * ''git clone https://github.com/senesis/climaf climaf''
+  * Add CLIMAF to the PYTHONPATH environment variable
+    * LSCE & tcsh: ''setenv PYTHONPATH ${PYTHONPATH}:/home/share/unix_files/cdat/climaf''
+    * LSCE & bash: ''export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/home/share/unix_files/cdat/climaf''
+    * ciclad: same as above, using ''/data/jypmce/cdat/climaf''
+  * Test the installation
+    * make sure the [[https://climaf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/requirements.html#requirements|Requirements]] are available:
+      * LSCE: ''module load netcdf/4 nco cdo ncl ncview''
+      * ciclad: ''module load netcdf4 nco cdo ncl/6.3.0''
+      * optional: start an X server
+      * <code>cd climaf/testing
+./test_install.sh</code>
+  * Once the tests are OK, add the required //module load// and environment variables definitions to the ''.basrc'' and ''.cshrc'' files. <wrap hi>Note: maybe these lines should go to the ''.profile'' and ''.login'' files...(check [[https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bash-Startup-Files.html|Bash Startup Files]])</wrap>
+    * LSCE: add to your .cshrc
+      * <code># Prerequisites for using CLIMAF
+module load netcdf/4 nco cdo ncl ncview
+# CLIMAF environment variables
+setenv CLIMAF /home/share/unix_files/cdat/climaf
+setenv PYTHONPATH "${PYTHONPATH}:${CLIMAF}"
+#setenv PYTHONPATH $CLIMAF
+setenv PATH "${PATH}:${CLIMAF}/bin"
+setenv CLIMAF_CACHE "/home/scratch01/${USER}/climaf_cache"
+setenv TMPDIR $CLIMAF_CACHE
+setenv CLIMAF_LOG_DIR $CLIMAF_CACHE
+#conda activate cdatm-nightly_py2</code>
+    * ciclad: add to your .bashrc
+      * <code># Prerequisites for using CLIMAF when not using the
+# default 'module load climaf'
+module load netcdf4 nco cdo ncl/6.3.0
+# CLIMAF environment variables
+export CLIMAF=/data/jypmce/cdat/climaf

+export TMPDIR=$CLIMAF_CACHE
+export CLIMAF_LOG_DIR=$CLIMAF_CACHE

+  * Open a new shell and <wrap em>run the tests again</wrap>. If there is an error that was not there, check what you have added to the shell init files
