Greetings, I probably should have answered this first. My advice is to look through some of the example .java files we have on the web. which are located at (which I think you've found): http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/examples/programs/ In order to run the example programs, you will need to grab the netCDF-java package. I would recommend going with the netcdfAll-4.2.jar. Add this jar file to your classpath like so: export CLASSPATH = <path-to-netcdf-jar>/netcdfAll-4.2:$CLASSPATH (if you are using bash) setenv CLASSPATH = <path-to-netcdf-jar>/netcdfAll-4.2:$CLASSPATH (if you are using a c-based shell) From that point, you need to compile the .java file into a .class file. So, for example, if you download Simple_xy_wr.java, you would need to type: javac Simple_xy_wr.java You may get some warnings, but that is ok. Once compiled, you should have a file called Simple_xy_wr.class in your directory. To run this file, simply type: java Simple_xy_wr If the command is successful, you will see the message "*** SUCCESS writing example file simple_xy.nc!", and a new netCDF file named "simple_xy.nc" will be in your directory.
