Re: [ferret_users] PyQt issue

[Saat Mubarrok <saatmubarrok@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Actually I met some problem when installing pyferret in my new ubuntu os.

First, when I in ferret environment and in ferret, I cannot use my keyboard pad like arrow and backspace. But working normal outside ferret.

Second, when I try to use any plotting command (fill etc), there is error message :

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in " "

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Is there any problem with my ubuntu installation or ferret installation? Any suggestions is welcome.

My ferret is v7.5 and my ubuntu is 18.04.3 bionic. which ferret: /home/kiost/miniconda3/envs/ferret/bin/ferret

Dear Mr. Venu,

Ryo is quite right you can install any software with the help of anaconda or miniconda on Linux.

Here I am attaching the procedure that I have ready discussed with Saat. I hope this will help you.  

Hello Saat,

G'day

The easiest way to install pyferret is from Anaconda cloud (

This will show you how to install anaconda and CDO (https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/wiki/Anaconda). I already gave you the link on how to install anaconda so after installing anaconda no need to repeat the step again mentione don CDO page. So just move to

conda config --add channels conda-forge

conda install cdo

Similarly you can find the cdo installation on t his link also (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/cdo).

We hope this might help you to install many open source software quickly and easily.

Cheers, Saurabh
