System Requirements

• Anaconda Distribution Pyhton 3.7 -- 2.7
• Make sure python is in system path.
• Additional python modules:
  • shapely
  • fiona
  • geopandas

Installation

1. Set up database drivers (only required on macOS).
   install homebrew; a package manager for macOS.
   ODBC driver provides the connection to the Opedia database.

   $ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
   $ brew install unixodbc
   $ brew install freetds --with-unixodbc
   

2. Install Python Anaconda Distribution.
   Make sure python is added to the system path. Anaconda distribution covers the majority of python modules used by Opedia. There are a few more required modules that need to be installed using the conda package manager; run the following commands to install them. Finally pip-install the opedia package itself.

   $ conda install shapely
   $ conda install fiona
   $ conda install -c conda-forge geopandas
   
   $ pip install opedia
