Mastering Geospatial Analysis with Python

Steps from Django to GeoDjango

Within this section, we'll install Django add GeoDjango configurations, and add the required libraries (including the GDAL and OGR) that bring spatial functionality to Django. Installing the Django 2 module for Python 3, and configuring the GeoDjango components, depends on a number of steps. These include:

1. Using pip to install Django 2
2. Installing and enabling a spatial database (if not already installed)
3. Installing GDAL/ OGR/PROJ4/GEOS
4. Configuring the Windows environment variables
5. Generating a project
6. Opening settings.py
7. Adding django.contrib.gis to INSTALLED_APPS
8. Configuring database settings to point to the spatial database
