🐍 Installation#

There are so many ways to install stuff. Pick the one that fits your workflow.

Install with conda/mamba#

For conda/mamba users:

mamba install -c conda-forge herbie-data

conda install -c conda-forge herbie-data

For uv users, add herbie as a project dependency:

uv add herbie-data

The Herbie CLI may be installed as a tool:

uv tool install herbie-data

For pip users:

# Install last release
pip install herbie-data

To install the full functionality which includes xarray accessors for plotting and data manipulation, please install the “extras” dependencies:

pip install 'herbie-data[extras]'

The latest updates can be installed directly from GitHub:

# Install current main branch
pip install git+https://github.com/blaylockbk/Herbie.git

Herbie provides some very basic, limited wrappers for wgrib2. For Linux or Mac users, the easiest way to install wgrib2 is from conda-forge.

I recommend installing wgrib2 globally with Pixi:

pixi global install wgrib2

Alternatively, you can install in a conda environment:

mamba install wgrib2

conda install wgrib2
