This guide allows one to enhance their JEDI-Skylab virtual environment to install the CLI from EUMETSAT called eumdac and the other the satpy  package that provides a number of readers for space-based assets.

Step-by-step guide

First letLet's create a new venv , in this guide it will be called venv-satpy 

1. Ensure you are in an existing JEDI-Skylab venv .  This is the one that was created in the later stages part of step 2 of , from the Running Skylab  Running Skylab instructions.  The environment is created when one runs this command python3 -m venv --system-site-packages venv  followed by source venv/bin/activate 
   
   Create the new virtual environment and activate it:

   Code Block
   language shell
   $python_ROOT/bin/python3 -m venv --system-site-packages venv-satpysourcesatpy source venv-satpy/bin/activate # normally I now change directory into the venv-satpy when I run the following commands cd venv-satpy

2. Install the CLI for access to EUMETSAT Data Portal - eumdac
   

   Code Block
   language shell
   # going to drop the preceding $python_ROOT/bin/ when calling python3 python3 -m pip install eumdacpython3eumdac python3 -m pip install --upgrade eumdac

3. Install satpy:
   

   Code Block
   language shell
   python3 -m pip install satpy
