Setting up a Mac OS X machine for grid generation

(tested on Lion)

Basics stuff

You probably need XCode and the XCode command line stuff installed. Get XCode from the Mac App store and setup the command line tools from within XCode or from the command line itself.

Getting miniconda and creating an environment

$ wget http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-3.7.3-MacOSX-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh
$ chmod +x miniconda.sh
$ ./miniconda.sh -b
$ export PATH=/home/grid/miniconda/bin:$PATH  # you'll probably want to do this permanently
$ conda update conda
$ conda create --name=gridgen python=2.7 pip nose matplotlib numpy --yes
$ source activate gridgen

Dealing with projected data:

$ conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/asmeurer pyproj --yes

Or for more adavanced map-related plotting:

$ conda install basemap --yes
