Hi,

I have been using HARP to preprocess S5P data on my computer. Recently, I wanted to migrate the processing pipeline to DataBricks. But installing HARP on DataBricks is challenging for me. Is there a place where whl can be found for HARP or if pip install is available?

Any help or suggestion is appreciated!

HARP is at its core a C library that again depends on other C libraries such as the HDF5 library. Packaging this all together into a single whl file is tricky and could create conflicts with other installed libraries.  
The preferred approach is therefore to use conda environments that are able to correctly combine C libraries/tools and Python packages together in a single environment.

From what I can tell from the [Databricks documentation they have support for conda](https://docs.databricks.com/en/runtime/conda.html). So I would suggest asking there on how to setup a conda environment with your selection of conda-forge packages (including HARP).
