how to install pyroms on EPD
Re: how to install pyroms on EPD
I've heard of people running ROMS under Cygwin on WinXP. Do you have Cygwin? Personally, I would use VirtualBox with Linux - or scrap the WinXP and just run Linux.
Re: how to install pyroms on EPD
I would agree with Kate that linux is better os to install and use Pyroms. You will encounter enough problems in installing pyroms on linux taht i would not recommend winxp.
For using pyroms you will have to install support packages such as netcdf 4.2, netcdf-cxx, netcdf-fortran etc.
Detailed steps for Pyroms are given here: https://github.com/kshedstrom/pyroms (maintained by Kate hedstrom)
Also, there is a similar package as Pyroms called Octant maintained by Robert Hetland, which you can find here: https://code.google.com/p/octant/
I hope it is helpful for you.

Re: how to install pyroms on EPD
Hi,
To give my 2 cents, I would suggest Anaconda python distribution (APD) is little easier for pyroms to be installed. I faced lots of problems with EPD. I don't know why but adding any new module to EPD was a big headache for me. The only problem with APD is you may need to compile netcdf4 module if it is not available. I had to make and check compatible netCDF4 libraries to make everything work fine. For scientific computing, unix is the convention, try to adopt it.
Have you checked all files present in kate's pyroms distribution? when I downloaded, folders containing supporting libraries like nn etc were missing. I then took it from rob hetland's pyroms (octant) distribution.
Hope this helps.
