Installation

If you prefer using Cate's GUI, Cate Dektop, there is no longer a need to install this cate Python package beforehand. As of 2.0, the Cate Desktop installer will take care of this. Please find Cate Desktop 2.0 installers here.

If you just want the Cate 2.0 CLI or the cate Python package then please install the cate-clipackage into an existing Anaconda3/Miniconda3 environment or create a new environment as follows.

If your network prohibits accessing packages in the Anaconda Cloud, you might still want to use the installers provided here. Note, the installers are not signed so you might likely see a security warning on Mac and Windows 10.

Windows

Create a new Anaconda3/Miniconda3 environment for Cate

> conda env create --name cate-env python=3.6*

Install cate-cli package:

> activate.bat cate-env
> conda install -c ccitools -c conda-forge cate-cli=2.0.0.dev1

Linux / Mac

Create a new Anaconda3/Miniconda3 environment for Cate

$ conda env create --name cate-env python=3.6*

Install cate-cli package:

$ source activate cate-env
$ conda install -c ccitools -c conda-forge cate-cli=2.0.0.dev1

Changes

Improvements and new Features

• Added data_frame_min(df) and data_frame_max(df) operations to select features by min/max
  #492
• Added data_frame_query(df, expr) operation to query features
  #486.
  If the data frame df contains a geometry column (a GeoDataFrame object),
  then the query expression expr can also contain geometric relationship tests,
  for example the expression
  "population > 100000 and @within('-20, 40, 20, 80')"
  could be used on a data frame to query for larger cities in Europe.
• Removed operation read_geo_data_collection. The preferred operation to read
  feature attribute tables ("data frames") with geometries from ESRI Shapefiles and GeoJSON files is
  read_geo_data_frame.
• CLI now launches a lot faster, e.g. try now cate -h
  #58
• Cate can now produce animated figures
  #86

Fixes

• Be tolerant of "invalid" geometries passed to operations expecting
  polygon WKT values
  #506
• Cate wont work if installed on drive other than home drive
  #466
• Region constraint'-option for AEROSOL dataset returns 'code 20' error
  #462
• Address problems of a user working with Cloud and Aerosol
  #478
• Most projections not working in plot operations
  #524
• Resolve an index operation documentation issue
  #496
• Resolve a bug with wrong file open mode
  #497
