Installing ESMF

Hi Pangeo/xESMF community,

I’m trying to use xESMF with the ESMF/ESMPy backend on Google Colab for regridding, but I keep running into problems with the ESMF installation. Specifically, I get errors like:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘ESMF’
esmf.mk file not found!

How are you going about the install?

I suspect you’re running into trouble with the compiled ESMF (and related) dependencies. Some package managers handle these better than others.
