Installation¶
With pip¶
The basic installation method does not install the packages required for plotting
stations with riweather.plot_stations. If you want to make plots, install the
optional plots dependencies:
Within a pipx Jupyter environment¶
If you have a pipx environment for local development
with Jupyter, then you can inject
riweather into that environment and it will be available to your notebooks.
To update riweather to the latest version published on PyPI,
you can uninject it (uninstalling it from your environment) and inject it again:
If data appears to be missing for the current year¶
If you are trying to fetch weather data for a certain year (usually it will be the
current year) and you are receiving no results, it could be that the station metadata
that is shipped with the riweather package needs to be refreshed. See
the CLI reference page for more details about why this needs to be
done.
In a nutshell, you can refresh it manually by running the following from the command
line:
This may take a few minutes to run. After it is complete, you can delete the
tmp_riweather_data directory that was created.
