GeoNode Support

To get support, give feedbacks and suggestions please use the GeoNode official channels, the users mailing list: and the developers mailing list: .

This repository is used to track code changes and GeoNode issues, please DON'T open new issues to ask for support.

GeoNode Installation

If you just want to try GeoNode, it is recommended to use Ubuntu 12.04 and install the python software properties.:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

For 12.04 with python software properties installed, install the latest stable release of GeoNode.:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install geonode

If instead, you are interested in doing development on the source code, here are the instructions: .

Docker Usage If you want to use Docker you can now:

# build the docker container
docker build -t geonode .

# run the docker container
docker run -d -p 8111:8000 -p 8181:8080 geonode

Or if you use fig:

# build the container
fig build

# run the container
fig up

openSUSE Development Build Instructions:

# Add Application:Geo and Python repositories
zypper -ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_12.2/ GEO
zypper -ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE_12.1/ python
zypper refresh

# Basic build packages
zypper install gcc gcc-c++ python-devel libgeos-devel libproj-devel

# Python native dependencies
zypper install python-pip python-virtualenv python-imaging python-lxml python-gdal

# Java dependencies
zypper install java-1_7_0_openjdk-devel ant maven

# Supporting tools
zypper install git gettext-runtime

# Create virtualenv and activate it
virtualenv venv --system-site-packages
source venv/bin/activate
cd venv

# Clone GeoNode
git clone https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode.git

# Install GeoNode in the local virtualenv
pip install -e geonode --use-mirrors

cd geonode

# Compile GeoServer
paver setup

# Start the servers
paver start

Windows Development Build Instructions:

Prerequisites:
# Java JDK
# Python 2.7
# ant (bin directory must be on system PATH)
# maven2 (bin directory must be on system PATH)
# Python distutils (easy_install)
# GDAL Core Libraries
# git

# Install and configure from the windows command prompt
If you don't already have python virtualenv installed, then do it now:
easy_install virtualenv

# Create virtualenv and activate it
cd 
virtualenv venv
venv\scripts\activate

# Clone GeoNode
git clone https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode.git

# Install compiled packages for Python 2.7 Win32
cd geonode
pip install paver
paver win_install_deps

# Install GeoNode in the local virtualenv
pip install -e . --use-mirrors

# Compile GeoServer
paver setup

# Start the servers
paver start --java_path=C:/path/to/java/bin/java.exe

Mac OSX Development Build Instructions:

# you may need brew install various dependencies 

mkdir -p ~/pyenv
virtualenv ~/pyenv/geonode    
source ~/pyenv/geonode/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode
cd geonode
pip install lxml
pip install pyproj
pip install nose
pip install httplib2
pip install shapely
pip install pillow
pip install paver

# Node and tools required for static development
brew install node
npm install -g bower
npm install -g grunt-cli

#Install pip dependencies
pip install -e .

#Paver handles dependencies for Geonode, first setup (this will download and update your python dependencies - ensure you're in a virtualenv)
paver setup
paver start

# Optional: To generate document thumbnails for PDFs and other ghostscripts file types
# Then download ghostscript: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/9980/gpl-ghostscript
brew install imagemagick
pip install Wand==0.3.5

Once fully started, you should see a message indicating the address of your geonode. The default username and password are admin and admin:

Development Geonode is running at http://localhost:8000/
To stop the GeoNode machine run:
paver stop

Or quit the server by pressing
CTRL-C to shut down

Before starting GeoNode (paver start), you could test your installation by running tests:

paver test
paver test_integration

In case you want to build yourself the documentation, you need to install Sphinx and the run 'make html' from within the docs directory:

pip install Sphinx
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
cd docs
make html

You can eventually generate a pdf containing the whole documentation set. For this purpose, if using Ubuntu you will need to install the texlive-full package:

sudo apt-get install texlive-full
make latexpdf

Development Roadmap

Geonode's development roadmap is documented in a series of Geonode Improvement Projects (GNIPS). They are documented here: . GNIPS are considered to be large undertakings which will add a large amount of features to the project. As such they are the topic of community dicussion and guidance. The community discusses these on the developer mailing list: Github issues tracks features and bugs, for new developers the tag 'easy-pick' indicates an issue that should be relatively easy for new developers to understand and complete. Once you have completed an issue a pull request should be submitted. This will then be reviewed by the community.
