Prerequisites and GeoNode Training Virtual Machine

• If you have successfully completed one of the previous training modules, you can keep using the same Virtual Machine deployed at GN1

• If you are starting this module from scratch, you might want to install a Virtual Machine with layer already configured and deployed.

  • Download the Virtual Machine OVA archive named GeoNode 3.3.x - GN2

    WARNING: The file is quite big, about 8.7 GB. Please make sure you downloaded it before the training actually starts.

  • Deploy and start the Virtual Machine as described on GN1 section Quick Installation Guide

  • Check the users and services deployed on the Virtual Machine from the GN1 section GeoNode Virtual Machine Structure

• Make sure you are familiar with GeoNode and its functionalities and your Virtual Machine is correctly working and configured as per GN1 Training module.

  WARNING: In the next sections we might refer to some GeoNode users and layers deployed and configured during the previous modules.

• Needed tools for mapstore client development, tested versions:

  • node v14.17.0

  • npm 6.14.13
