netCDF  4.2.1.1
Getting NetCDF

The easiest way to get netCDF is through a package management program, such as rpm, yum, adept, and others.

NetCDF is available from many different repositories, including the default Red Hat and Ubuntu repositories.

When getting netCDF from a software repository, you will wish to get the development version of the package ("netcdf-devel"). This includes the netcdf.h header file.

Unfortunately, you may not be able to get a recent version of netCDF from a package management system, in which case you must build from source code. Get the source distribution for the latest, fully-tested release.

Alternatively, you may wish to try the daily snapshot. It is generated nightly at the Unidata Program Center. It has passed all tests on our (Linux) test machine, but not necessarily all platform compatibility tests.

Warning:
The daily snapshot release contains bug-fixes and new features added since the last full release. It may also contain portability bugs.

Once you have downloaded and unpacked the distribution, see the following section on Building NetCDF.
