Installation Guide

Prerequisites

For more information about the prerequisites for an installation of the HydroMT package and related dependencies, please visit the documentation of HydroMT core

Note

We recommend using the mamba package manager. However, in the commands below you can exchange mamba for conda, see here for the difference between both.

If you already have a python & conda installation but do not yet have mamba installed, you can install it into your base environment using:

$ conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge

Installation

HydroMT-SFINCS is available from pypi and conda-forge. We recommend installing from conda-forge in a new conda environment.

Install HydroMT-SFINCS in a new environment (recommended!)

You can install HydroMT-SFINCS in a new environment called hydromt-sfincs together with a few additional dependencies which are required for the HydroMT-SFINCS examples. To do so, create a new environment from the environment.yml file in the repository root with the following command:

$ mamba env create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Deltares/hydromt_sfincs/main/environment.yml

Then, activate the environment (as stated by mamba/conda) to start making use of HydroMT-Wflow:

conda activate hydromt-sfincs

Tip

If you already have an environment with this name, either remove it with conda env remove -n hydromt-sfincs or set a new name for the environment by adding -n <name> to the line above.

Note

The environment yaml-files in envs folder are meant for testing and development, so please use the environment.yml file in the repository root for normal usage. In case you want to develop, see the Developer installation guide.

Install HydroMT-SFINCS in an existing environment

To install HydroMT-SFINCS in an existing environment execute the command below where you replace <environment_name> with the name of the existing environment. Note that if some dependencies are not installed from conda-forge but from pip or other channels the installation may fail.

$ mamba install -c conda-forge hydrom_sfincs -n <environment_name>

Developer install

To be able to test and develop the HydroMT-SFINCS package see instructions in the Developer installation guide.
