title: Installing pygrib Package
body: <p>Apologies in advance for what is probably a bad/poorly phrased question, but I merely dabble in programming and am very unfamiliar with under the hood aspects of package installation, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I am trying to install the pygrib package (available here: <a href="https://github.com/jswhit/pygrib" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/jswhit/pygrib</a>) via a cygwin terminal.</p>
  
  <p>I am running Python 2.7.3 32-bit on Windows 10.</p>
  
  <p>Originally I encountered the missing vcvarsall.bat error the first time I tried to run 'python seteup.py build' and followed the advice here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2817869/error-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat">error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat</a></p>
  
  <p>After installing the MS Visual Studio package, I have made it past that error and to another I do not understand with the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ python setup.py build
  reading from setup.cfg...running build
  running build_py
  running build_ext
  skipping 'pygrib.c' Cython extension (up-to-date)
  building 'pygrib' extension

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously it's still looking for some other files, or needs other environment variables defined, but I'm at a loss as to how to proceed and I'm far from an expert when it comes to any of this.</p>
  
  <p>I'd also be glad to try something completely different if you have a better way to go about this process entirely.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried pip and the conda installer, but have not had any luck with them either.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for anything you can offer.</p>
