+
+Python Package Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The version number listed next to any Python package corresponds to the version

+
+    pip3 install python-dateutil==2.8
+
+Using Conda::
+
+  conda install -c conda-forge python-dateutil=2.8
+
+
+**MET Python Embedding Requirements**
+
+If running use cases that use Python embedding, the **MET** executables
+must be installed with Python enabled
+and the following Python packages installed:
+
+- xarray (0.17.0)
 
--  dateutil Python package
+- numpy (1.19.2)
 
--  MET version 10.0 or above
