# Advanced installation procedure

## Prerequisite

OpenLog requires the following general [dependencies](#direct-dependency-installations) to be met:

* Python 3.12
* Python packages: `psycopg2`,  `pandas`, `sqlalchemy`, `GeoAlchemy2`, `xplordb`, `pyqtgraph`, `numpy`
* Python optional package : `pyodbc`

When running a xplordb database, the following additional dependencies shall be met

* PostgreSQl 12+
* PostGIS 3

Once the [dependencies](#direct-dependency-installations) have been met, execute the following steps:

1. go to `Plugins` -> `Manage and Install Plugins` -> `All`
2. search for "OpenLog"
3. hit `Install Plugin`.

## Direct dependency installations

### Linux

```{Note}
Tested against Ubuntu >= 24.04
```

#### Python system [Linux]

To install Python, run:

```bash
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
```

#### Python mandatory packages

```{note}

In case the command above does not fully cover the dependencies, refer to the [req file](https://gitlab.com/geolandia/openlog/openlog-qgis-plugin/-/blob/main/requirements/development.txt?ref_type=heads) directly.

You may also need to install some external packages for compilation. See <https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/wiki/Install> for `pyodbc`.
```

### Windows

1. Run QGIS 3.42.x
2. go to `Plugins` -> `Python Console`
3. run the following command in the `Python Console` dock:

```bash
!pip install --no-deps --force-reinstall --break-system-packages -U chevron "sqlalchemy>=1.4,<2.0" "GeoAlchemy2>=0.13.3,<0.14" "pyqtgraph>=0.13.3" xplordb "pint>=0.24.4" pluggy py-machineid mplstereonet flexparser flexcache typing-extensions platformdirs
