Software you will need before proceeding:
    -R (version 3.3 or later) 
     You will need administrator privileges on your computer
     or the ability to install R libraries.

1) Download and extract the following file to your computer:
   https://github.com/ARCCSS-extremes/climpact2/archive/master.zip
   This will create a directory named "climpact2-master".

2) In Windows: open R and select "File->Change dir..." and select the 
   climpact2-master directory created in step 1. Then type 
   "source('climpact2.GUI.r')"
   
   NOTE: If nothing happens, try run the additional command "startss()".

   In Linux/MacOS: cd to the climpact2-master directory created in
   step 1, then open R in a terminal window and type 
   "source('climpact2.GUI.r')".

   The first time ClimPACT2 is run it will install required R packages.
   This will likely require you to select a mirror to download from.

Warning: Due to an error in the netCDF SPEI and SPI package these indices will not be
correct IF your data contain missing values (e.g. they are based on observations).

Software you will need before proceeding:
    -R (version 3.3 or later). You will need administrator privileges 
	 on your computer or the ability to install R libraries.
    -netCDF
    -PROJ4 development files (libproj-dev package on Ubuntu)
    -udunits development files (libudunits2-dev package on Ubuntu)

1) Download and extract the following file to your computer:
   https://github.com/ARCCSS-extremes/climpact2/archive/master.zip
   This will create a directory named "climpact2-master".

2) Cd to the climpact2-master directory created in step 1, open R and run 
   "source('installers/climpact2.ncdf.installer.r')" to install the required R packages.
   You may be asked whether you would like to make a personal library, in 
   most cases the answer should be 'yes'. Once complete, quit R by typing
   "q()". This step only needs to be done once.

3) Modify the climpact2.ncdf.wrapper.r file to suit your needs (see manual
   for optional parameters to specify). Then execute by running 
   "Rscript climpact2.ncdf.wrapper.r" from the Linux command line. Depending
   on the size of your data and the number of cores selected, this process
   can take anywhere from one to twelve hours.

          Notes on netCDF data format:
          - Files must be CF compliant.
          - There must be no 'bounds' attributes in your latitude or 
            longitude variables.
          - Your precipitation variable must have units of "kg m-2 d-1",
            not "mm/day". These are numerically equivalent.
          - Your minimum and maximum temperature variables must be 
            uniquely named.
          - ncrename, ncatted and ncks from the NCO toolset can help 
            you modify your netCDF files.

   You may be asked whether you would like to make a personal library, in 
   most cases the answer should be 'yes'. Once complete, quit R by typing
   "q()". This step only needs to be done once.
   
3) From the terminal run the following command, replacing the flags
   with the folder where your station text files are kept, a metadata file
   containing the file name of each station text file along with relevant 
   station information, the beginning and end years of the base period, and
   the number of cores to use in processing, respectively. See the user guide
   for more information.
