UPP Online Tutorial for UPPV4.1 | Installing UPP > Required Software and Libraries

Before installing the UPP code, it is necessary to ensure that you have the required libraries available on your system. These libraries include:

  • Unidata's NetCDF library (here)
  • The NCEP libraries for the UPP application (here)

For instructions on building the NCEP libraries required for UPP, please refer to the README document in the NCEPlibs directory.

Note: These are specific versions of the NCEP libraries maintained by NCAR/DTC and other versions of NCEPlibs may not work.

arrow It is important to note that these libraries must be installed with the same compiler as will be used to install UPP.
