 Cartopy, one of the dependencies of CyclonePlotter, attempts to download shapefiles from the internet to complete successfully. So if CyclonePlotter is run on a closed system (i.e. no internet), additional steps need to be taken. First, go to the Natural Earth Data webpage and download the small scale (1:110m) cultural and physical files that will have multiple extensions (e.g. .dbf, .shp, .shx). Untar these files in a noted location. Finally, create an environment variable in the user-specific system configuration file for CARTOPY_DIR, setting it to the location where the shapefiles are located.
