FOSSGIS - Session 1

Session 1 of the FOSSGIS Seminar WS 2019/20

Setting up your computer for the course

Windows

OSGeo Programs

On Windows, most software we need can be installed using the OSGeo Installer. Download the OSGeo Installer from here.

Start the Installer and choose "Advanced Installation". All other settings can be left at the default value.

When you are presented with a list of packages, select the following ones to be installed: Make sure to select the correct versions!

• qgis: QGIS Desktop 3.8.3-1
• grass: GRASS GIS 7.6.1-1
• saga-ltr: SAGA 2.3.2-4
• gdal: The GDAL/OGR library and command line tools 2.4.1-1
• python3-core 3.7.0-3
• qgis-grass-plugin7: GRASS7 plugin for QGIS 3.8.3-1

All necessary dependencies are selected automatically.

After installation all OSGEO programs (e.g. gdal, ogr) are available from within the OSGEO4W shell.

git

Windows does not automatically come with a git installation. Therefore, download "git for Windows" from here and install it. After installation you can you git from the normal Windows command line (Eingabeaufforderung).

Mac OS

OSGeo Programs

Download the QGIS All-IN-One Installer from the QGIS webpage. This installer contains all necessary packages.
