- No prerequisites… but:
- If you would like to complete this workshop asynchronously, you will need to install Python and Rasterio on your personal computer. I highly recommend first installing the Anaconda Python distribution, then, from a command terminal, install Rasterio by typing ‘conda install rasterio’. More info.
Download the Workshop Materials!
If you are participating in the live workshop session, downloading the workshop materials is not necessary.
- All workshop data is available here on GitHub.
- You can download the workshop Notebooks here.
Goal of this Workshops
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce you to Rasterio and it’s general operation. Rasterio is an open source Python package primarily used for input/output operations with raster data. Rasterio uses GDAL, the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library. Rasterio essentially uses GDAL operations but makes it more “Pythonic”. This workshop does not replace formal GIS coursework, but will help you get started on basic GIS projects using Rasterio.
