geometryIO 0.9.5

Installation

Here are instructions for installing geometryIO in a virtualenv

# Prepare isolated environment
ENV=$HOME/Projects/env
virtualenv $ENV
mkdir $ENV/opt

# Activate isolated environment
source $ENV/bin/activate

# Install GDAL
sudo yum -y install swig
GDAL_VERSION=1.9.0
GDAL_FILENAME=gdal-$GDAL_VERSION
cd $ENV/opt
wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/$GDAL_FILENAME.tar.gz
tar xzvf $GDAL_FILENAME.tar.gz
cd $GDAL_FILENAME
./configure --prefix=$ENV --with-python
make install

# Install package
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ENV/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
easy_install -U geometryIO

Usage

Prepare environment

ENV=$HOME/Projects/env
