Running

The ESMValCore package provides the esmvaltool command line tool, which can be used to run a recipe.

To run a recipe, call esmvaltool run with the desired recipe:

esmvaltool run recipe_python.yml

If the config user is not in the default {HOME}\.esmvaltool\ path you can pass its path explicitly:

esmvaltool run --config_file /path/to/config-user.yml recipe_python.yml

It is also possible to explicitly change values from the config file using flags:

esmvaltool run --argument_name argument_value recipe_python.yml

To get help on additional commands, please use

esmvaltool --help

Note

ESMValTool command line interface is created using the Fire python package. This package supports the creation of completion scripts for the Bash and Fish shells. Go to https://google.github.io/python-fire/using-cli/#python-fires-flags to learn how to set up them.
