The Open Source GIS full production stack was developed for use on machines running a Linux distribution. Hence for Windows users, it is recommended that you download and install the following for a smooth user experience when using the Open Source GIS Stack (OSGS).

  1. Windows Subsytem for Linux (WSL) and your Linux distribution of choice
  2. Docker
  3. Bash and Git for Windows

Note: The OSGS stack was tested using the Ubuntu on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

For Ubuntu create the .ssh directory and the authorized_keys file. cd ~ then follow these directions.

Next, you need to install the make utility for your Linux distribution. The make commands available for the OSGS platform are in the Makefile. You also need to install the following dependencies: rpl, pwgen, pip using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install make
sudo apt-get install rpl
sudo apt-get install pwgen
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils (#should solve your problem with missing htpasswd binary)
sudo apt install python3-pip

Sign up for a Github account if you do not have one and fork the kartoza / osgs repository. Using the Git Bash terminal clone the forked repository onto your local machine. Start up your Linux distribution terminal and navigate to the location of the cloned repository.
