Testing Cartopy¶

Cartopy is a popular plotting library and depends on geos and proj libraries and therefore need to be linked against these. Currently it is possible to install cartopy in any version you want, using the provided module libraries:

geos/3.8.1-gcc-8.5.0 or similar using gcc
proj/8.1.0-gcc-8.5.0 or similar using gcc
proj/7.1.0-gcc-8.5.0 or similar using gcc using cartopy <0.20

However, there are still some issues with Cartopy. Please note that its version is 0.XX that means development and not a stable release.

Write the necessary modules into the kernel launcher configuration file: ~/load_modules_into_jupyter.conf

If that files is written just now. restart the kernel otherwise the pip install will fail.
