Unrecognized engine cfgrib in xarray.open_dataset

[ibkvictor]

I keep getting the unrecognized engine error with:
import xarray as xr
ds = xr.open_dataset('data.grib', engine='cfgrib')

I have the following installed on python 3.7.13, Linux GCC 7.5.0:

pygrib
libgeos-dev
ecmwflibs
eccodes
cfgrib

Have you read the 'System dependencies' section under the eccodes page? https://pypi.org/project/eccodes/

If you haven't installed the system dependencies it will not work.

I had similar problem on Windows using pip:
ValueError: unrecognized engine cfgrib must be one of: ['scipy', 'store']

This worked for me, simply use conda:
conda install -c conda-forge cfgrib
