Installation¶

The EnMAP-Box is a plugin for QGIS and requires additional python packages that need to be installed independent from QGIS.

1. Install QGIS¶

Install QGIS version 3.10.0 or higher to run the EnMAP-Box. You can get QGIS here. Additional information on the installation process is provided in the QGIS Documentation.

In case you already have QGIS installed, you can skip this step.

Tip

The installation of additional python packages can be cumbersome, in particular on windows and macOS. You might therefore consider to install QGIS in a conda/anaconda environment.

2. Install required python packages¶

The EnMAP-Box core plugin requires the following python packages:

numpy
scipy
scikit-learn
matplotlib
astropy (optional, relevant e.g. for certain filtering algorithms)

Follow the platform specific installation instructions below in order to install these packages.

Note

Starting with version 3.6 the EnMAP-Box starts without previously installing the required Python packages. If needed, these can be installed ad-hoc to the user directory using the Package Installer (Project ‣ Package Installer) in order to make the plugin run. However, we still recommend to install the packages as described below!

Windows¶

Close QGIS, if it is open.
Start the OSGeo4W Shell with admin rights.
- Open the start menu QGIS 3.xx ‣ OSGeo4W Shell ‣ Right-Click ‣ Run as administrator
  
  Hint
  
  If you used the OSGeo4W Installer to install QGIS, the OSGeo4W Shell will be listed under OSGeo4W in the Start Menu
Activate the Python 3 environment by entering:
```
call py3_env.bat
```

Install required python packages by entering:
python3 -m pip install -r https://bitbucket.org/hu-geomatics/enmap-box/raw/develop/requirements.txt
Now all packages will be installed automatically. After completion, the shell should show something like this:
If the package installation was successful, you can close the shell. The required packages are installed now and you can continue to start/install the EnMAP-Box.

Error

In case you run into problems because pip is not available in your python environment (error message C:/.../python3.exe: No module named pip or similar), follow these steps…
Optionally, also install astropy using pip in the OSGeo4W Shell:
```
python3 -m pip install astropy
```

Linux¶

Note

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04

Open the terminal and install all missing packages using pip:
```
python3 -m pip install -r https://bitbucket.org/hu-geomatics/enmap-box/raw/develop/requirements.txt
```
Error

See FAQ if you run into problems installing the packages.

Mac¶

Open the terminal and install all missing packages using pip:
```
python3 -m pip install -r https://bitbucket.org/hu-geomatics/enmap-box/raw/develop/requirements.txt
```
Error

See FAQ if you run into problems installing the packages.

3. Install or update the EnMAP-Box¶

Install from QGIS plugin repository¶

Open QGIS and go to Plugins ‣ Manage and Install Plugins ‣ All
In the search bar enter enmap or EnMAP-Box 3
Now the EnMAP-Box should be listed in the plugin list:

Select it and click Install plugin (or Upgrade in case you update to a new version)
Start the EnMAP-Box via the icon or from the menubar Raster ‣ EnMAP-Box

Install older version¶

Go to the QGIS Python Plugins Repository https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/enmapboxplugin/
Click on the Versions tab to see all available version.
Click on the desired version and on the next page click
It is recommended to uninstall previous EnMAP-Box versions (delete folder manually, or in QGIS via Plugins ‣ Manage and Install Plugins ‣ Installed ‣ EnMAP-Box 3 ‣ Uninstall plugin)
Open Plugins ‣ Manage and Install Plugins ‣ Install from ZIP.
Press … and select the downloaded zip file (enmapboxplugin.3.x.YYYYMMDDTHHMM.QGIS3.zip) and click Install plugin.
Start the EnMAP-Box via the icon or from the menubar Raster ‣ EnMAP-Box.
