QGIS

This section will describe how to install QGIS on Mac OS X.

Unlike all of the other components of OpenGeo Suite which can be installed from a single installer package, QGIS is broken out into its own package and must be installed separately.

Prerequisites

QGIS can run on any recent hardware/software combination.

Install

  1. Extract the provided archive. There will be a single entry: QGIS.app.

  2. Drag this icon into the Applications folder.

    ../../_images/qgis-install.png

    QGIS copied to Applications folder

QGIS is now installed, and can be run like any normal application.

Uninstall

To uninstall QGIS, delete the icon from the Applications folder.
