GCBM Prerequisites¶

Before we take a leap into the process of development, please take a moment to verify if you have the necessary tools setup and skills to get started on this project. You should be familiar with the following:

Python 3.7¶

This document will guide you through the steps for installing the Python 3.7 environment required for running the pre- and post-processing tools for GCBM.

If you already have Python installed on your computer, follow the instructions in the section Existing Python Installation .

If Python is not already installed, follow the instructions in the section New Python Installation .

Existing Python Installation¶

Locate your existing Python 3.7 installation (where python.exe is located). If you have both 32 and 64-bit versions installed (common with ArcGIS), find the path to the 64-bit version.
From a terminal in the python_3_installer directory, type: install_modules_only <python path>

Setting up modules for Existing Python Installation¶

New Python Installation¶

Verify that you have no existing Python 3.7 installation – it is not usually possible to install the same version in two different locations.
From a terminal in the python_3_installer directory, type: install_python [optional install path]
