使用ncdump时出错-NetCDF4 Python

Question

I am using python to read a netcdf dataset. I have installed netcdf and I am trying to read the data by typing, ncdump("sample.nc",header_only=0). And I get the below error: /bin/sh: 1: ncdump.exe: not found.

sample.nc is a netcdf file created using the following code:

from netCDF4 import Dataset    
import numpy as np

sfile = Dataset('sample.nc',mode='w', format='NETCDF4') 

Can anyone help me understand this error. I am quite new to this concept. Thanks

I had this problem today, and I came across your question during my research to solve my problem. You don't have the ncdump command installed most likely.

Download netCDF4.3.3.1-NC4-64.exe or the 32 bit version from the http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/winbin.html .

I installed them to my program files. Add the path to the ncdump commands to your system path. I believe they are located in the bin folder once you have run the install. My path was...

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\netCDF 4.3.3.1\\bin

Good Luck.

ncdump -h filename 

in command prompt should work
