Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

Installation with environment.yml doesn't work on windows 10. It can't install graphics rendering in spyder or pycharm

Installation with python 3.10 fixes this (and appears to work with other things).
Could add a note to 'getting started' page to cover this

conda create --name coast_dev --file requirements.txt -c conda-forge
in branch feature/535_stratification_diag

works fine

I also had a similar issue installing on windows. The environment built ok. I then did a "conda install -c bodc coast". When importing coast I got the error "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _imaging: The specified module could not be found."
This was fixed by:
conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib
conda install -c conda-forge dask
conda uninstall scipy
conda install scipy

I now have matplotlib version 3.7.1, dask version 2023.2.0 and scipy version 1.10.1. I'm not 100% sure the conda dask install was needed.
