Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)#

Installation#

The installation fails when using a firewall

When operating behind a firewall, the pip dependency installation may fail and result in an import error when next starting QGIS. One way to ensure the installation, is using the DownloadAll class in a script, run in the Python terminal.

# This script is to be executed in the QGIS Python console. Open it via the menu bar ->
# Plugins -> Python console, or use Ctrl + Alt + P. Then use the "Show Editor" button,
# paste this script, edit, and press execute. Pasting into the console directly will
# result in an exception.
import os
from qaequilibrae.download_extra_packages_class import DownloadAll

# Set the environment variables required for pip here
# os.environ["variable name"] = "variable value"

# Create an instance of the our downloader class, this handles all the dependencies that
# qaequilibrae needs and removes packages that conflict with the global QGIS packages.
installer = DownloadAll()

# The downloader uses two files to mark when dependencies have need installed, we'll
# remove those to get it to retry the downloads.
