PyFERRET commands on MacTerminal not working


I installed PyFerret through the terminal using Anaconda. Following the instructions from: https://github.com/NOAA-PMEL/PyFerret/blob/master/README.md Seems like the install was successful since I can activate the environment with

conda activate FERRET

My command line name changes from (base)Mac:Directory User$ to (FERRET)Mac:Directory User$ which I assume indicates that PyFERRET is active. Then I tried to give a few commands:

(FERRET)Mac:Directory User$ FILE CrawfordPoint_surface.nc 
CrawfordPoint_surface.nc: NetCDF Data Format data

Then I tried using other commands like PLOT which some can be found at: https://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/users-guide/commands-reference/PLOT However, my terminal's response was that those commands were not found. Anyone has any idea?


Solution

  • No it does not mean pyferret is active, only that the environment is active. You still need to invoke pyferret first.
