This is the space for Geoanalytics' documentation. We have very little of it right now, but we're aiming for more.

Administrator documentation

Geoanalytics is a server-based system, and thus requires an administrator to set up properly. This documentation covers what you need to know to install and run Geoanalytics on your own infrastructure.

• Install Geoanalytics

Developer documentation

Geoanalytics is based on top of Django and Mezzanine, as well as a number of scientific and geographic packages. For instance, the Django admin interface is the admin interface for Geoanalytics, and the Mezzanine extensions to this provide the majority of what you need to add and describe content to Geoanalytics.
