Rich NcDump

Rich NcDump is a repository made to be able to quickly preview netCDF files. It is useful when you just want to see the metadata, and it is packaged with pip!

To install, you can simply do

pip install ncdump-rich

or even better, by using pipx which installs it in a nice, isolated environment:

pipx install ncdump-rich

If you are like me and you think browsing through your files is a lot easier in a terminal file manager compared to Finder, Nautilus and so on, then this previewer fits perfectly into the previwing plugins that exists for for example nnn and lf.

nc) fifo_pager ncdump-rich -i "$1" ;;
