I would like to use ACOLITE atmospheric correction with python, however, I cannot install pyhdf.
The RuntimeError is following:
RuntimeError: Cannot find required HDF4 DLLs -- check LIBRARY_DIRS
I was googling, however I didn't find any specific answer for the error.
What should I do?
I am a Windows user. However, I can use in an emergency the WSL Debian.
With help of @Mikkel Lydholm Rasmussen, I've found the answer.
The main issue is in installing pyhdf with help of pip, but it should be successful with:
the conda install -c conda-forge pyhdf
Don't worry to install Anaconda beside the solo python installation and use Anaconda Prompt for the manipulation. I also recommend installing other packages in the new environment:
conda create -n my_env pyhdf ipykernel
Generally, other packages (GDAL) for ACOLITE will be incompatible with Anaconda standard distribution.
