Maps and Geographic Information Systems. Working with WMS Data. Contributor to SAGA GIS, Debian and Ubuntu GIS and the OSGEO live dvd. XPRA desktop with QGIS, GRASS, SAGA-GIS. I am using R 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 14 64 bit version. Package RQGIS establishes an interface between R and QGIS, i.e. 'Rsagacmd' dynamically generates R functions for every 'SAGA-GIS' geoprocessing tool based on the user's currently installed 'SAGA-GIS' version. To install the most recent SAGA version, simply execute the following lines in a terminal window: Linux Mint 19 is a great Linux for Desktop. Additionally, we choose the Desktop-GIS GRASS 6 & 7, the Orfeo Toolbox, SAGA, and of course QGIS. According to the SAGA GIS repository on SourceForge this dates from 2016 with the latest version being 7.2. Great GIS software, expandable and compatible with GRASS, SAGA and other scientific GIS tools (so it's not only for intermediate level, but it's great for advanced GIS analysis if the user configures it well). Here, we install both the most recent QGIS version as well as the long-term release. Making a Map (QGIS3) Working with Attributes (QGIS3) Importing Spreadsheets or CSV files (QGIS3) Basic Vector Styling (QGIS3) Calculating Line Lengths and Statistics (QGIS3) Basic Raster Styling and Analysis (QGIS3) Raster Mosaicing and Clipping (QGIS3) Working with Terrain Data. The most reliable way of installing FOSS4G on Debian or Ubuntu is using the Debian/Ubuntu GIS repository network.
