Installation environment for Notebooks (all OSes)

(1) install Anaconda (or mini-conda): https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual

(2) Start a conda terminal and install GDAL:

creates a stand alone environment

conda create -n gdal3

activates the environment

conda activate gdal3

for this workshop use this line:

conda install -c conda-forge gdal=3 jupyter basemap matplotlib xerces-c rasterio tuiview

note: you can add "qgis" to the line above to install the Desktop QGIS GIS application


to get latest version (PDS4/VICAR updates), you will need gdal=3.1+:

conda create -n gdal3.1

conda activate gdal3.1

conda install -c conda-forge gdal=3.1

Note: every time you start up a new terminal remember to type:

conda activate gdal3 (or gdal3.1)
