Mesher is a novel multi-objective unstructured mesh generation software that allows mesh generation to be generated from an arbitrary number of hydrologically important features while maintaining a variable spatial resolution. Triangle quality is guaranteed as well as a smooth graduation from small to large triangles. Including these additional features resulted in a better representation of spatial heterogeneity versus classic topography-only mesh generation. The paper describing mesher can be found here.

Detailed documentation on how to install is given here.
In short:
- Python 3.7, 3.8
- Install GDAL development files from package manager (e.g.,
gdal-devel) - C++14 compliant gcc (gcc 7.3+ is good)
- You might need to install
vtk-develfrom package manager if the python wheels for vtk don't exist on linux.- Python 3.9 doesn't have VTK wheels yet on macos
Then:
$ pip install mesher
