@georgemccabe Thanks for your work on this! I am an ignorant conda user. I ran conda install -c conda-forge metplus on my Mac, and it looks like everything went well and was successful. But I don't know how to access the MET/METplus tools now. There is nothing in the directory where I ran the command. And the tools are not found:

jpresto@ral-vilya:/Volumes/d1/jpresto/projects/METplus/conda$ which run_metplus.py
jpresto@ral-vilya:/Volumes/d1/jpresto/projects/METplus/conda$ which point_stat
jpresto@ral-vilya:/Volumes/d1/jpresto/projects/METplus/conda$

What do I need to do next to be able to access/use the tools?

Hi @jprestop, it looks like you don't have a conda environment activated. Did the log output say which conda env that metplus was installed into? You will need to activate that conda environment to get access to the apps. Once activated, they should be in your path as you expected.

I just tried the following (again, I am obviously an ignorant conda user):

jpresto@ral-vilya:/Volumes/d1/jpresto/projects/METplus/conda$ conda activate metplus

EnvironmentNameNotFound: Could not find conda environment: metplus
You can list all discoverable environments with `conda info --envs`.

@jprestop , the install log output says:

environment location: /Users/jpresto/Projects/miniconda/miniconda3

which corresponds to the base environment, shown from your env list:

base /Users/jpresto/Projects/miniconda/miniconda3

So you should run conda activate base to activate the environment in which METplus was installed. Typically you would create a new named conda environment, activate it, then run the conda install command to install the software into that environment.

Typically you would create a new named conda environment, activate it, then run the conda install command to install the software into that environment.

Can you please modify the instructions in the documentation to show how users can do that along with instructions to tell ignorant users like myself to run conda activate?

…a environemnt (if desired) and activating an environment before installing METplus. Also add supported platform and version information

Thanks @georgemccabe. I followed the new instructions and everything worked great. One minor suggestion is to change instances of "my_metplus_env" to simply "metplus_env".

I also reviewed the new README badges and ordering, and they look good. Thank you for your work on this task and the conda build overall! I approve this request.
