Hello Zahra, If you are on linux, you will need to compile and install the libraries from source. You can find information on this process by reading the documentation at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs. If you are on Windows, you will need to download one of the installers from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/softeware/netcdf/docs/winbin.html. Once installed, you can use the `ncdump` utility to print the information contained in netcdf files. I hope this helps, -Ward > > Hi > I want to download precipitation data for Uganda for year 2008-2012 from: > http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.gpcc.html > > I am trying to download NetCDF from this link: > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/index.jsp > > but I am still lost .. which one I have to downloads > I download The Latest Stable netCDF-C Release, .zip > form<ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-4.4.0.zip> but I still > don’t know how it works > > > Can you please help me, I am really appreciated > > Sincerely, > Zahra > > > Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 > > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: OFX-325794 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
