OCSMesh is a Python package for processing DEM data into georeferenced unstructured meshes using different meshing engine libraries.
Two ways of installing OCSMesh are described below:
The recommended way to setup the environment for installing OCSMesh is to
use conda
with the environment.yml file provided in the repo to install
required libraries.
You need to make sure you've installed the mesh engine you'd like to use (e.g., Triangle or Gmsh).
First you need to download the environment.yml file.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/noaa-ocs-modeling/OCSMesh/main/environment.yml
conda env create -f environment.yml -n your-env-name
conda activate your-env-name
pip install ocsmesh
You need to make sure you've installed the mesh engine you'd like to use (e.g., Triangle or Gmsh).
OCSMesh can be installed from the GitHub repository as follows:
git clone https://github.com/noaa-ocs-modeling/ocsmesh
cd ocsmesh
pip install .[all]
