Install: Anaconda vs. Macports

The instructions say to install python through Anaconda. I already had installed it through Macports on OSX. A previous bad experience showed me that re-installing python with conda after a previous install with Macports led to trouble. How is it possible to reconcile all this?

Re: Install: Anaconda vs. Macports

I have anaconda installed next to MacPorts currently and haven't hit any problems so far.

If you don't want to use conda you can install CIS using pip through your MacPorts install, but the difficulty is in installing some of the dependencies (particularly GEOS, HDF4, etc). The instructions for this can be found here: http://cistools.net/get-started#advanced-installation.

Let us know if you get stuck!

I'm testing waters on

I'm testing waters on partition where python 2.7 was installed by Anaconda 2.0. But the CIS command-line install method does not work:
/Users/cg/anaconda/bin/python conda install -c cistools -c scitools cis
/Users/cg/anaconda/bin/python: can't open file 'conda': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Any idea?

Re: Install: Anaconda vs. Macports

Conda is a binary rather than a Python script, so you should be running it directly.

Try:
/Users/cg/anaconda/bin/conda install -c cistools -c scitools cis

And let me know how you get on.
