Problems installing Python libraries?

Sometimes the pip Python package manager doesn’t download the latest version of libraries from pypi, particlar on Mac/osX systems, because old versions of the libraries can be stored in the local cache directory. Deleting the pip cache directory and always using the “–no-cache-dir” option when downloading/installing packages solves this problem.

rm -fr ~/Library/Caches/pip/*
pip install ecco_v4_py --no-cache-dir

Sometimes libraries get updated. To update packages installed with conda use the the following command:

conda update anaconda
