The METplus team supports the installation of the METplus software components on several operational research high performance computing platforms. This includes installations at NCAR, NOAA, and other select community machines. Pre-built METplus images on DockerHub are also provided.
The NCAR/RAL Common Installation location under the NCAR Machines drop down menu is only updated after official releases. No developmental releases are installed in a common space on RAL machines.
Please submit a new discussion in the METplus Components Discussion forum if no instructions exist for the current release on a supported platform and the release is needed on that platform.
Select from the list below for instructions on using existing builds of the METplus components' software packages. If an installation is needed on a machine not listed here, please follow the installation instructions in the MET User’s Guide.
