PROJ 4 SETUP

Clone the PROJ 4 repository from github and install at least the version 6 release (i.e. main branch).

git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4 proj

Build the PROJ package.

cd proj
./autogen.sh
setenv CXXFLAGS "-DPROJ_RENAME_SYMBOLS -O2"
setenv CFLAGS "-DPROJ_RENAME_SYMBOLS -O2"
./configure --prefix=/my/proj/install/directory --disable-static
make -j4
make install

---

GDAL SETUP

Clone the GDAL repository from github with a version of at least 3.0 (i.e. main branch).

git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal

Build the GDAL package with the python bindings:

cd gdal/gdal/
./configure --without-libtool --with-proj=/my/proj/install/directory --prefix=/my/gdal/install/directory --with-python
make -j4
make install

Jupyter Notebooks Setup

Instructions to install jupyter notebooks in a conda environment

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab jupyter_contrib_nbextensions rise --yes

Conda will install all required jupyter packages plus contributed notebook extensions, configurator, hide code and RISE to turn notebooks into slideshow.

Setting of environment variables

Edit your private module or start-up shell and add the PROJ and GDAL environment variables.

For example for csh do:

vi ~/.cshrc

Add the following and update my to the location where you installed the packages.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/my/proj/install/directory/lib:/my/gdal/install/directory/lib
setenv PROJ_LIB /my/proj/install/directory/share/proj
setenv PYTHONPATH $PYTHONPATH:/my/gdal/install/directory/lib/python3.7/site-packages
set path = ('/my/gdal/install/directory/bin' $path)
