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:

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

  1. Close QGIS, if it is open.

  2. Start the OSGeo4W Shell osgeoicon with admin rights.

    • Open the start menu QGIS 3.xx ‣ OSGeo4W Shell ‣ Right-Click ‣ Run as administrator

      ../_images/open_osgeoshell.png

      Hint

      If you used the OSGeo4W Installer to install QGIS, the OSGeo4W Shell will be listed under OSGeo4W in the Start Menu

  3. Activate the Python 3 environment by entering:

    call py3_env.bat
    ../_images/shell_callpy3env.png

  1. 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:

    ../_images/shell_install_output.png

    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…


Linux
