安装过程如下：
（1）从http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/index.jsp官方网站下载源程序包。最新版为4.0.1，安装的是3.6.3，测试成功。
（2）假设源程序包保存在/home/fengwei/netcdf-3.6.3文件夹下，打算安装在/usr/local/netcdf路径里。进入root后，操作如下：
mkdir /usr/local/netcdf
cd /home/fengwei/netcdf-3.6.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netcdf
make check
make
make install
（3）安装完成后，/usr/local/netcdf/文件夹下存在4个文件，分别为bin,include,lib和share。
（4）针对感兴趣的某一nc文件，编写相应的fortran代码(如test.f90)，其中应包括include
'netcdf.inc'，并调用NetCDF给定的函数对nc文件进行读取和写入等操作。
（5）编译fortran代码，以intel fortran编译器为例，其他的编译器基本一致
ifort -c -I/usr/local/netcdf/include test.f90
ifort -o test test.o -L/usr/local/netcdf/lib -lnetcdf
（6）运行
./test
#include <iostream>#include <netcdfcpp.h>
using namespace std
// We are reading 2D data, a 6 x 12 grid.
static const int NX = 6
static const int NY = 12
// Return this in event of a problem.
static const int NC_ERR = 2
int main(void)
{
// This is the array we will read.
int dataIn[NX][NY]
// Open the file. The ReadOnly parameter tells netCDF we want
// read-only access to the file.
NcFile dataFile("simple_xy.nc", NcFile::ReadOnly)
// You should always check whether a netCDF file open or creation
// constructor succeeded.
if (!dataFile.is_valid())
{
cout << "Couldn’t open file!\n"
return NC_ERR
}
// For other method calls, the default behavior of the C++ API is
// to exit with a message if there is an error. If that behavior
// is OK, there is no need to check return values in simple cases
// like the following.
// Retrieve the variable named "data"
Chapter 2: Example Programs 25
NcVar *data = dataFile.get_var("data")
// Read all the values from the "data" variable into memory.
data->get(&dataIn[0][0], NX, NY)
// Check the values.
for (int i = 0 i < NX i++)
for (int j = 0 j < NY j++)
if (dataIn[i][j] != i * NY + j)
return NC_ERR
// The netCDF file is automatically closed by the NcFile destructor
cout << "*** SUCCESS reading example file simple_xy.nc!" << endl
return 0
}
