Installing the Example data

The examples scripts in the user guide as well as the pySTEPS build-in tests use the example radar data available in a separate repository: pysteps-data.

The data must be downloaded manually into your computer and the ref:pystepsrc” file need to configured to point to that example data.

First, download the data from the repository by clicking here.

Unzip the data into a folder of your preference. Once the data is unzip, the directory structure looks like this:

pysteps-data
|
├── radar
      ├── KNMI
      ├── OPERA
      ├── bom
      ├── fmi
      ├── mch

Now we need to update the pystepsrc file for the each of the data_sources to point to these directories, as described in The pySTEPS configuration file (pystepsrc).
