the software for sure, the meteorological data not really.
SMND is a helper package for simplifying the build and the deployment of a collection of meteorological software packages, mainly developed by Arpae-SIMC. The current version is relatively stable, including the universal binary package.
The software packages involved, all open source and freely redistributable, are:
For building autonomously the software collection you can follow the guidelines in the corresponding page.
If you do not want to build the packages on your own, different approaches are possible for quickly deploying precompiled binaries:
- The quick and universal way, the universal binary package (no need to be the system administrator).
- Running from a singularity container (requires agreement with the system administrator).
- Installing in a supported distribution (CentOS/Fedora) from copr repository (requires to BE the system administrator).
This build tool and the universal binary package are at the moment (2023-09) deprecated in favor of the singularity container approach. See also the nwprun package for other related containers.
Please notice also that the universal binary packages successive to smnd version 2.7 do not contain the arkimet package due to the dependency on python which would be uncomfortable to be included in the universal package. The universal package v2.7 though is still available for download in the releases section of github.
