Common Software
Shell — any command line environment will do for the exercises. For Linux we recommend the bash shell. For Windows the Windows command line can be used.
- QGIS has become one of the most promising and most integrative open source GIS systems over the last years. Through the processing plugin, it additionally integrates modules from the other leading free GIS solutions. We will need it (if necessary) to prepare or manipulate some of the data.
Regarding installation, for Ubuntu Linux, the Ubuntu GIS package is a good choice. For Windows, we strongly recommend installing everything via the OSGeo4W environment and not the standalone QGIS installation tool.
For most of the data pre and postprocessing, we will use the statistical scripting language R and we highly recommend the Rstudio integrated developing environment.
Please follow the instructions according to your operating system.
