Hi Hiroe, Sorry, we should put some more detailed installation instructions on the Gusto website. This is an extra dependency of Gusto but not of Firedrake. You need to type pip install netCDF4

Hi David,
That’s a good news. However I still fail the tests on gusto on the same mac which is a problem. I installed gusto using
python3 ~/firedrake/bin/firedrake-update --install gusto
and it gave some errors (firedrake-update.log attached). I also attached the error messages from the tests on gusto It look like the problem is related to netCDF but I am not sure how to fix it.
All the best, Hiroe
Looking at the update log, it looks like the netCDF4 requirement was correctly picked up, but it failed to install. It looks like this was because there wasn't a wheel available and so it attempted to build from source and couldn't find netcdf and hdf5. I suppose this means we need to build netcdf like we do h5py, but that is painful. Lawrence
