[Music] [Music] [Music] hi welcome to today's qgis tutorial lesson 3. in this video we'll learn how to download and install qgis plugins so what are plugins qgs plugins add additional function functionalities to qgis application they add additional functionalities and this additional functionality is what we want to achieve there is a collection of plugins ready to be used available i'll show you i'll leave the link in the description where you can follow this plugin can also be installed directly on the qgis plugin manager within the qgis application so we are going to show you how to to install them directly in the qg's manager not not not not that plugins are developed by independent organizations and developers so how do we install plugins that is the next question that we think to ask ourselves so let's go to our qgis in you know in our last uh in our last tutorial we learned about how to bring vector layers to qgis now we're going to now learn how to download and install plugins into our qgis to add those extra functionalities there's some common plugins that we're going to install in this exercise so let's get started you will go to the menu bar on the menu bar you will see there is a tab called plugins select that in your case you will find that maybe you're just seeing manage and install plugins and python console but for me i have many many many more dropdowns here i'm going to show you how to achieve this all these are plugins that have actually installed enabled me to add the extra functionality so first things first make sure that your internet connection is okay for me mine is already okay and connected so the next thing i'll do i'll come to plugins manage and install plugins and click on that tab give it a few seconds to load it will load it'll bring another box here and the box the the another tab that the tab has all us all installed not installed upgradable installed from zip and then the settings so first first things first let's look at what what is installed you can see i have so many installed plugins here for your case you'll find that maybe you have very very few and some plugins that i have are not having that are not checked here so i'll show you the reasons why i've done that so let's go straight into it let's now see how to download a plugin for example the ones that are not installed now you can go to the ones that aren't you can go to all let's just go to all then go and select and look for h cm gis just type htm gis that you can see i have already installed this plugin for you for for you for your case you will you'll realize that maybe you still haven't installed it because down here it will be saying reinstall install the plugin so click on install plugin what i can do is i can just uninstall plugin first install it and the plugin is installed successfully again uh there is one way of the way of installing plugins you can actually install it directly from from your plugin manager here there are other ways i'm going to show you but let's look at this plugin this plugin says best maps batch converter download copy data actually most of copy data has been uploaded here and it always uploaded every day they are not open data there's some data that you can actually download here and do many more things so this is once you understand the importance of plugin and you can see the number of downloads and people who are using actual queues many many many people you can read it if you want to write it here then you can read more information about who actually developed this plugin then after that you can just click on close now let's look at what the htm gs plugin and where does it go to when i look at my tabs here i can go to plugins first there's no htm just plugin but i know where it is it is actually at the end here of almost close to the end of my tabs and it's when i click on it the dropdown comes you can see on the hcm js plugin there is base maps so let's select select first beze maps and select maybe say google satellite and you will see it will actually bring up a a base map can zoom in and out get information about any region [Music] so at least now you understand why we need to have plugins in qgis so that you can have this extra functionality without these plugins then you could maybe be able to get the best maps or the different regions that you want to look look look at so that's one plugin that you can actually install [Music] so you can actually if you know the plugin you can do research online or if you have if you have a developer in the office you can actually be able to download that plugin with them now another way of downloading and installing plugin is this and click on manage and install plugin now you can actually install it from a zip file so this is how we do it go and look for qgis plugin qgis plug in again then i'll select plugins and you can see it brings me all the available plugins here but i want the most table maybe say most top downloaded or most rated or most popular experimental but most stable let me click on more stable first then you can see there is this plugin here all there agis right it has that rating it was actually developed in map match what i'm going to do is i'm going to select this plugin then i will come and read any the information about the plugin then the details and who actually created the plugin then the version the current version that which which was updated in june 3rd 2020 this time is this one so i'll select the 1.3 consider the latest select it then on my right hand here i'll come and select download click on download then i will browse on where i'm going to save my plugin so i'm going to browse i had actually already created a folder and our gis working uh in our js working folder called plugins so i'll come and select and i will save the edgy igis plugin in that downloading it's already finished downloading so i will open the folder and then it is a zip file there are two ways you can actually load it into qgis you can load it directly by extracting but now i want to load it as a zip file so what i will do i will come to my plugins here remember how we are going to the plugins manage and install plugin [Music] then i will select install from zip and i'll come and select where my zip file is which is there the gis plugin open then i click install plugin it will tell me security warning installing a plugin from unauthorized sources can lead to data loss links continue now i don't show me this again because i trust this plugin yes and just wait for a few seconds it trans and it will tell you the plugin is installed successfully when i go to my install plugins manage and install plugins then i come to the install plugins to see all my install plugins and you can see this the hds login here so that is how you install plugins one from the plugin manager and two from from the the zip file i'll go back look for popular plugins you can see we have there mm tgis plugin here and this is semi automatic classification plugin this actually is also a very very useful plugins so i'll select the semi-automatic classification plugin then come and read the details of who developed the semi-automatic classification plugin [Music] and the version the current version which was uploaded on 23rd which is today at 5 59 a.m i'll select the current version i click on download i'm going to save it in i'd already already downloaded it today i'll just add new so i have already downloaded it again there it is so i'm going to add it now into ugis plugins organizer plugins install from zip select where the semi-automatic execution plugin is which is the user this i open install give it a few seconds [Music] did you tell me the plugin installed
