XCube installation instructions

[haesleinhuepf]

Hi all,

I was just trying to run code from this page to open an example dataset to my computer:

from xcube.core.store import new_data_store
store = new_data_store("s3", root="deep-esdl-public", storage_options=dict(anon=True))
ds = store.open_data('esdc-8d-0.25deg-1x720x1440-3.0.1.zarr')

I ran into trouble installing xcube, because if you install it using pip, it installs version 0.0.9, an outdated version that causes errors when running the code (No module named 'xcube.core').

I think it would be great if you link to the xcube installation instructions or mention explicitly that this needs to be installed using conda/mamba:

mamba install --channel conda-forge xcube

Thanks!

Best,
Robert

Hi @haesleinhuepf, thanks for reporting the issue!

xcube on pypi goes under the name of xcube-core.

To install from pypi, one should use

pip install xcube-core

Good idea, we will add documentation about the installation to the deepesdl docs! Keeping this issue open until it is included in the documentation.
