Matthew Kenny EGEO 452 Tutorial: Open Source GIS From an Outsider's Point of View The creation of an end-to-end Open Source GIS system capable of distributing information over the web can be broken down into the instillation and configuration of four categories of computer software: 1. Ubuntu Linux 2. GIS Software and Libraries 3. Apache Webserver 4. Other Productivity Programs The test machine used for the duration of this course was a Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255 series laptop computer, which was released to the market on January 7th, 2003 (CNET). The machine came stock with a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB RAM, and a 40 GB hard drive. An aftermarket D-Link DWL-G630 wireless adapter provides the primary source of internet connectivity for the machine. Phase One: Ubuntu Linux Instillation There are a variety of different versions of the Linux operating system, known as distributions, or more colloquially as 'distros'. Ubuntu Linux is now one of the fastest growing Linux distributions available. With both its ease of instillation via a downloadable CD image, and very large user base; it was chosen as the Linux distribution for the project. The Ubuntu Linux Distribution is currently updated on a regular six-month cycle, with the most recent version being 8.04 LTS. The '8' represents the year, '2008' while the '04' represents the month of the release 'April'. 'LTS' is an acronym for 'Long Term Support', which means that this particular version will be supported for an extended period of time. Three years for the desktop edition, and five years for the server edition. For the purposes of this project the Desktop Edition of Ubuntu was chosen for instillation. Before one proceeds with the instillation of Ubuntu Linux on their machine, they should make sure that their computer meets the minimum requirements, which can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/minimum-hardware-reqts.html Step One: Download the Ubuntu CD Image From a computer that is capable of burning CD-Rs, navigate to: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and select the 'desktop edition', followed by the appropriate selections for your type of computer and location. Step Two: Burn the Image to a blank CD-R. If you have downloaded the Ubuntu image to a Microsoft Windows machine, 'InfraRecorder' is a free and Open Source CD/DVD burning solution. It can be downloaded at this address: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5. Once installed, open the program, 'InfraExpress', click the 'copy' tab, and select 'Burn Image to Disc'. Navigate to the CD image and select it for burning.
Accept the default selections in the new window and click 'Ok' to begin the burning process. Step Three: Start the destination computer with the Ubuntu CD inserted. The Ubuntu CD is known as a 'Live CD' which means that the Ubuntu Linux operating system can be run entirely off of the CD, by storing information in the destination computer's RAM. This is a great way to test drive Linux. For our purposes though, we will go straight to the installation. After selecting the appropriate language, select 'Install Ubuntu' from the startup screen to begin the process. Note: Checking the CD for defaults is a step that some may wish to take. This will ensure that the CD is fully operational and capable of installing Ubuntu. Step Four: Run through Instillation Prompts Select your appropriate language and click, 'Forward'.
Select the city closest to you, and preferably in your country, to establish your time zone. Click 'Forward' when done.
Select your appropriate keyboard layout. The default layout is already set for the United States.
Next the partitioner will start. This program will prepare the destination computer's hard drive for the Ubuntu Linux instillation. Two to three choices will be available depending on the machine: Guided resize, Guided use entire disk, and Manual. For this exercise we will choose, 'Guided use entire disk'. This will wipe the entire hard drive clean, and install Ubuntu Linux using all space available on the drive.
The next screen prompts you to enter your name, create a user name and password for the computer, and a name for the computer itself. Click 'Forward' when done.
After reviewing the changes to be made to the computer, select 'install' to begin the instillation process.
Step Five: Configuring Ubuntu for Wireless Internet Configuring the machine is a tedious but essential step. The first step is to establish internet connectivity on the machine. If you are wired directly into a network via an ethernet cable, it should automatically connect your machine to the net. If not, your wireless internet may or may not be working. If it is not working, connect the machine to your network's router via an ethernet cable. If wireless is not functioning, a program provided by the Ubuntu community called 'ndiswrapper' can help in most cases. After establishing internet connectivity via an ethernet cable, select 'Applications' from the top menu on the desktop and click, 'Add/Remove.'. In the 'Add/Remove Applications' screen search for 'ndiswrapper'. Check the box next to its name, and click apply changes to install the program. Ndiswrapper allows Ubuntu Linux to utilize wireless card drivers that are designed for Microsoft Windows, in the '.inf' file format. These drivers can be found typically by googling the make and model of your computer's wireless card. Download the appropriate '.inf' file for your particular wireless card. After the installation has been completed, 'ndiswrapper' can be accessed by selecting the 'System' menu, 'Administration', and 'Windows Wireless Drivers'. You will be prompted for your password in order to access this screen. Click 'Install New Driver', navigate to and select the.inf file that was downloaded and click 'Install'. The wireless card should now be activated.

To view available wireless networks, click the network monitor icon towards the upper right of the screen, in the shape of two computer monitors or signal bars. Select the appropriate wireless network to connect to and you should now have internet access. Step Six: Updating Ubuntu If connected to the internet, a screen will popup within the first few moments after startup stating that updates are available. Download these updates by clicking, 'Install Updates' and restart the machine if prompted to.
Step Six: Adding Ubuntu Restricted Extras and WINE Two useful applications to install are the Ubuntu Restricted Extras and WINE. 'Ubuntu Restricted Extras' gives your vanilla Ubuntu Linux instillation Microsoft fonts, java, flash, mp3, and DVD support. WINE is known as a 'Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer', allowing an Ubuntu Linux system to run programs designed for Microsoft Windows. While it may seem like magic, it really works. I have successfully used WINE to run the Windows-only GIS software package, ILWIS via Ubuntu Linux. We will install these software packages by selecting the, 'Applications' drop-down menu and then 'Add/Remove.'. In the search bar of the, 'Add/Remove Applications' window, type 'Ubuntu Restricted Extras' and check the box next to it. Do the same for WINE. When complete, click 'Apply Changes' to initiate the download and installation of the software. Restart if prompted. Phase Two: GIS Software and Libraries Step One: Install 90% of the necessary GIS software in a single script
The actual instillation of the majority of the GIS software will occur within this step. The following is a script created by Matthew Perry of PerryGeo that has been slightly modified to separate the instillation of QGIS, allowing us to download the latest version. First we will begin by making sure that Ubuntu is configured to download software from as many sources as possible. We do this by going to the 'System' drop down menu, 'Administration', then selecting, 'Software Sources'. From here we will make sure that the 'Universe' and 'Multiverse' are checked, allowing us to download both Open Source software as well as software that is restricted by copyright issues. Click 'Exit' after the changes have been made. Now we are ready to open up a terminal window, which acts as a direct command line interface between the user and the computer. We can access a terminal window by clicking, 'Applications', followed by 'Accessories', then 'Terminal' Copy and paste the following into the terminal window. *Note that Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V do not seem to work when inside the terminal window. The workaround is to copy by highlighting text using the mouse, right-clicking on it and selecting 'Copy' from the context menu. Then right-clicking within the terminal window and selecting, 'Paste'. sudo apt-get -y install grass mapserver-bin gdal-bin cgi-mapserver \ python-qt4 python-sip4 python-gdal python-mapscript gmt gmt-coastline-data \ r-recommended gpsbabel shapelib libgdal1-1.4.0-grass Press enter, and enter your password to begin the instillation process. You are prompted for your password here because of the 'sudo' command. Sudo stands for 'Super User Do' and allows you to make system changes as an administrator to the machine, which is why it prompts you for your password. The packages will be downloaded and unpacked in their appropriate places automatically, ready to use. To test the installation of GRASS, open a terminal window and type grass then press enter. The splash screen will display followed by the location selection menu. If prompted to update software or restart, do so. Step Two: Install QGIS QGIS (http://download.qgis.org/downloads.rhtml) provides a clean graphical interface to GRASS, one that users of ArcGIS will be familiar with. In addition, we will be using it later on to create a Mapfile, for use with our Mapserver installation. We need to add the repository that holds the latest version of QGIS on the web to our list of software sources that the computer is allowed to download from. We do this by opening the Software Sources menu (System-Administration-Software Sources). Click the 'Third-Party Software' tab, and select the, 'Add.' button.

When prompted to, enter, 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu hardy main' and click 'Add Source'. Click 'Close' to exit. Open a terminal window (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qgis qgis-plugin-grass Press enter and type your password if prompted.
Press 'Y' if prompted to install new packages, and again to install without verification. If prompted to update software or restart, do so. To test if QGIS is installed and functioning properly, open a terminal window, type qgis and hit enter. The QGIS splash screen should display followed by the main GUI interface. Step Three: Install Apache Web Server The Apache Web Server was developed in 1996, and is completely Free and Open Source software. Its instillation will allow us to create an environment from which we can test our web GIS applications on a 'localhost' server, a fully-functional web server accessible only on the destination computer. With a little work, this can be broadcast to other uses on the internet as well. Open up a terminal window (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and type the following line of code in (modified from http://www.debianadmin.com/apache2-web-server-with-php-support-in-ubuntu.html): sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils ssl-cert Select Yes when prompted to install. Next we need to edit to configuration file that was created as part of the instillation. This will allow us to tell the computer that the server will be used as a localhost. From a terminal window type the following: cd /etc/apache2 We have now successfully navigated to the pathway /etc/apache2 using the command, 'cd' or 'change directory'. To verify our current pathway in the terminal window, we can type, pwd which will return, /etc/apache2 To see the contents of the pathway in the terminal window type, ls which will return: apache2.conf envvars httpd.conf~ mods-enabled sites-available

conf.d

httpd.conf mods-available ports.conf

sites-enabled

Our goal is to edit the file, 'httpd.conf'. We do this by issuing the following command in the terminal: sudo gedit httpd.conf A text editor will open up, showing the empty contents of the file, 'http.conf'. In order to establish the localhost we need to add the following line in the file. ServerName localhost Save the file and exit. Now we need to test the apache server itself. Ensure that the apache server is running by typing the following into a terminal window: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start Now restart the apache server by typing into a terminal window: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart The apache server can be tested by going into the Firefox web browser and typing the following addresss: http://localhost/ If, it works!, it works!

Step Four: Install KompoZer Web Authoring System KompoZer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web page editor, serving the same needs as other commercial programs such as Microsoft Frontpage or Adobe Dreamweaver. Its simple
interface allows one without HTML experience to create websites which will host their data. Installation is done through the Add/Remove Applications interface used earlier (ApplicationsAdd/Remove.). Once the 'Add/Remove Applications' window has opened, search for KompoZer, check it, and click, 'Apply Changes' to install the software. After the installation has been completed, the program can be launched by navigating to the 'Applications' menu, selecting 'Internet', then 'KompoZer' All of the necessary software for an Open Source GIS workstation have now been successfully installed and configured. Next Step: Working with the sample dataset.
