How to Install New Python Modules / Packages in QGIS - method #1



Steps:


1 - copy source folder to C:\Program Files\QGIS Wien\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages

2 - Open OSGeo4W Shell; go to unpacked folder, where setup.py lies - (>> cd "C:\Program Files\QGIS Wien\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages")

3 - Type: >> python setup.py install



-----


If it shows errors regarding setuptools: you will have to install setuptools.


https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-18.4.zip#md5=38d5cd321ca9de2cdb1dafcac4cb7007


Download setuptools package, then repeat the same steps for installation.

Ps: in my opinion, this is the worst method to install modules. Next post I will tell how to use "pip" with QGIS Python.
