Installing QGIS 2.18 for development
QGIS has a set of Python modules and libraries that can be accessed from the Python console within it. However, they can also be accessed from outside QGIS to write standalone applications. First, you must make sure that PyQGIS is installed on your platform, then set up some required environment variables.
In this recipe, we will walk you through the additional steps required beyond the normal installation process to prepare your system for development. The steps for each platform are provided, which also include the different styles of Linux package managers. The version of QGIS in your Linux package manager may be older. You can find additional detailed installation instructions at https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html ...
