Greetings! Apologies for the delayed response. Installing PyGRIB using pip (following the instructions https://jswhit.github.io/pygrib/installing.html) on Windows is challenging because you need to have a working compiler/build environment. My recommendation is to set up an environment using miniforge, which is a small distribution of Conda configured to use the conda-forge channel: https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/tag/4.12.0-2 Specifically, this one should work for you on Windows: https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/download/4.12.0-2/Miniforge3-Windows-x86_64.exe From there you should be able to activate the conda environment and install pygrib with: conda install pygrib For more information, you can check out MetPy Mondays #1-#3 (miniforge can substitute for Anaconda/miniconda): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15DNH25UCi0 Hope this helps, Ryan > Hello, > > I am trying to follow the "MetPy Mondays #135 -Reading GRIB files" video on > YouTube<https://youtu.be/yLoudFv3hAY>, but I am having trouble with the > pygrib library.
