If you just want to try GeoNode, it is recommended to use Ubuntu 12.04 and install the latest stable release:
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 for Ubuntu 14.04:
# retrieve latest apt-get list sudo apt-get update # Essential build tools and libraries sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev gettext git python-dev python-pip # Python and Django dependencies with official packages sudo apt-get install python-pillow python-lxml python-psycopg2 python-django python-bs4 python-multipartposthandler transifex-client python-paver python-nose python-django-nose python-gdal python-django-pagination python-django-jsonfield python-django-extensions python-django-taggit python-httplib2 # Java dependencies sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes openjdk-6-jdk ant maven2 --no-install-recommends # Clone GeoNode git clone https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode.git # Install GeoNode in editable mode sudo pip install -e geonode cd geonode # Compile GeoServer paver setup # Start the development servers paver start # Visit the development geonode site http://localhost:8000
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 2.6+
# ant (bin directory must be on system PATH)
# maven2 (bin directory must be on system PATH)
# Python distutils (easy_install)
# 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 <Directory to install the virtualenv & geonode into>
virtualenv venv
venv\scripts\activate
# Install Python native dependencies
easy_install PIL lxml==2.3
# this command will look for and install binary distributions (pip install will attempt to build and fail)
# 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
# This WON'T work on windows without changes to pavement.py
# and a windows batch script for starting jetty
paver start
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/ The GeoNode is an unstoppable machine Press 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 cd docs make html
You can eventually generate a pdf containing the whole documentation set. For this purpose, if using Ubuntu 12.4 you will need to install the texlive-full package:
sudo apt-get install texlive-full make latexpdf
Note
When running virtualenv venv the --system-site-packages option is
not required. If not enabled, the bootstrap script will sandbox your virtual
environment from any packages that are installed in the system, useful if
you have incompatible versions of libraries such as Django installed
system-wide. On the other hand, most of the times it is useful to use a version of
the Python Imaging Library provided by your operating system
vendor, or packaged other than on PyPI. When in doubt, however, just leave
this option out.
Geonode's development roadmap is documented in a series of Geonode Improvement Projects (GNIPS). They are documented here: https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/wiki/GeoNode-Improvement-Proposals. 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: https://groups.google.com/a/opengeo.org/forum/#!forum/geonode-dev 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.
