cd xgcm
python setup.py install</pre></div><div><br></div><div>and I received a very similar traceback error as shown in "traceback_error_2.png". Now, it is important to note that I am running this code on a MacOS X operating system. Is it necessary to install these packages and execute code using these packages on a Linux OS such as Debian or Ubuntu? Please advise. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards, </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Justin Campbell</div><div><br></div></div>
