 ## Optional Software
 * [grib2io-interp](https://github.com/NOAA-MDL/grib2io-interp) 1.0.0+ - Provides ability to perform spatial interpolation via the [NCEPLIBS-ip](https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-ip)

+## Required External Libraries
 
-### g2c
-Beginning with grib2io v1.1.0, the [NCEPLIBS-g2c](https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-g2c) library is no longer bundled with grib2io.  Instead, grib2io will link to an external installation of g2c, which as of v1.7.0, includes the ability to build shared-object library files.  Therefore, the previous "optional" compression software is no longer needed to build grib2io.  The caveat to this is you are at the mercy of how g2c was built.

+The [NCEPLIBS-g2c](https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-g2c) library is required for grib2io.  You will have to build and install this yourself, but this is not difficult.

If you use the Anaconda ecosystem, then you can install via `conda install -c conda-forge nceplibs-g2c`.

-The intention of grib2io is to become the offical Python interface for the NCEP g2c library.  Therefore, the development evolution of grib2io will mainly focus on how best to serve that purpose and its primary user's -- mainly meteorologist, physical scientists, and software developers supporting the missions within NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
