1. Install QGIS

Install QGIS version 3.4.0 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.


2. Install required python packages

The EnMAP-Box requires the following python packages:

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

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.

    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…

  2. Optionally, also install astropy using pip in the OSGeo4W Shell:

    python3 -m pip install astropy
