- Reading NetCDF from javascript is doable, but still *very* hacky.
- The bridge can handle pagination and collecting multiple NetCDF into one CSV.

### CentOs 6 Shenanigans

``` bash
yum install https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
yum install python27*
```

But then `virtualenv` yields

```
File "/var/www/html/HELIOPROPA/web/run.py", line 24, in <module>
[Fri Nov 30 14:30:38 2018] [error] [client 10.10.135.119]     from netCDF4 import Dataset, date2num

```

_Solution:_
Configure Apache to use `web/run_ssa.wsgi` and use pip2.7 install system wide.


### Install libcdf.

``` bash
wget https://spdf.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/software/cdf/dist/cdf37_0/linux/cdf37_0-dist-all.tar.gz
tar -xzvf cdf37_0-dist-all.tar.gz
cd cdf37_0-dist
make all OS=linux ENV=gnu
make INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/lib/libcdf install
```
