How to install

Recent releases of pydap may require upgrading Python versions. The latest version of pydap requires Python=>3.12. Pydap can be installed via PyPI as follows:

pip install pydap

or in the case you are using Anaconda:

conda install pydap

Note

If you already have mamba installed, you can replace all conda in the commands with mamba.

This installation of pydap will include the minimal dependencies to allow users to subset remote data on OPeNDAP servers.

Note

We recommend to use package installation managers like conda/mamba. This requires the installation of Miniforge

Reproducible (conda) environments

You can easily use conda to install pydap and any optional packages for sharing a reproducible workflow. For example:

conda create -n pydap_env -c conda-forge python=3.12 pydap
conda activate pydap_env

Note

If you already have mamba installed, you can replace all conda in the commands with mamba.

To install the latest pydap version (client-only), directly from the GitHub repository, run:
