Dear all,
I am about to install SeaDAS under Linux Mint. I followed the instructions (https://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/tutorials/installation_tutorial/) but struggle to install the netCDF4 python module (under point 8 in the tutorial). The link for the netCDF4 source code download does not work. I tried some other links, but couldn“t find one for the download of this respective zip file. Can anybody help and let me know how to access the link to successfully run this command: wget https://netcdf4-python.googlecode.com/files/netCDF4-1.0.7.tar.gz?
Thank you very much! Kindest regards.

That tutorial looks a bit outdated.   SeaDAS is at version 7.4.   Some of the other software also has newer versions.   NetCDF4-python has moved to github: Unidata NetCDF4-python.   There is much better support for NetCDF4-CF files in linux now than there was
when SeaDAS was at version 7.1.  Anaconda python has conda packages for most if not all the modules on the list.
