zip install - mf4dl1/jaksafe GitHub Wiki

This page describes the procedure for installing a development snapshot from a zip file.

1. Close QGIS if you have it open.
2. Fetch the latest zip file from the GitHub develop branch.
3. Extract the zip file into your QGIS plugins directory.

• Under Linux this would be /home/<your user name>/.qgis2/python/plugins
• Under OSX this would be /Users/<your user name>/.qgis2/python/plugins
• Under Windows this will be in your home directory e.g. c:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\.qgis2\python\plugins

1. Important: Make sure that the zip file is unzipped as a subdirectory i.e. ...\plugins\inasafe and that there are not double subdirectories e.g. ...\plugins\inasafe\inasafe
2. Start QGIS again
3. Open the plugin manager
4. In the installed tab, make sure that InaSAFE is enabled

You should now have a running snapshot of the latest InaSAFE code.

Some notes:

• Whilst it is possible that you can have two copies of InaSAFE installed side-by-side (e.g. in ...\plugins\inasafe and ...\plugins\inasafe-dev), we recommend that do not do this and rather move/remove any other InaSAFE plugins directories from the plugins folder because it is possible that two copies may cause conflicts.
• Also please note that although we try very hard to keep the code in the develop branch stable and usable, there may be occasions where the code is broken due to ongoing development work.
• The zip archives represent a snapshot of the code at the tip of the chosen code branch. So this means that you cannot use the extracted zip as a Git repository and apply e.g. pull requests to it.
