Hi Xiaoyu,

If you install PyFerret using conda or miniconda, you do NOT source ferret_paths.sh or ferret_paths.csh.

The "conda activate FERRET" sets up the environment variables for you. After the "conda activate FERRET", you just type "pyferret" to run and you should see the conda version (v7.5) of PyFerret.

If you do the "source ferret_paths.sh", it will overwrite the environment variables so that "pyferret" will run whichever version of PyFerret referenced in that ferret_paths script. That is why you are seeing the old v7.4 version.

Kind regards,

Karl

Dear ferreters,

I am trying to install pyferret7.5-RHEL7-64-Python2.7 on a Mac high Sierra 10.13.6. My former pyferret7.4 works fine but somehow I want a newer version.

After reading Karl's suggestion form https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/PyFerret/blob/master/README.md, I downloaded miniconda3 to install pyferret7.5. However, After I went through all the steps, pyferret7.5 did not pop out when I used conda activate FERRET. After a few attempts, I switched to pre-built installation that I am more familiar with.

PyFerret v7.4 (optimized)

Darwin 15.6.0 - 04/17/18

Any suggestions?

Thank you and stay healthy.
