Problem using pygmt with pip install

Q&A

PyGMT relies on GMT. When you run pip install pygmt, you only install the PyGMT package. The required GMT package (which is not written in Python) is still missing.

I think you have two choices:

  1. Install miniconda instead, which is much smaller than anaconda.
  2. Build GMT from source code, and then set GMT_LIBRARY_PATH to the path of the GMT library
