Installation

The installation of GIS4WRF requires users to have QGIS 3 installed on their systems. Please make sure that you follow the same steps in the same order as described in How to install QGIS and How to install GIS4WRF to avoid problems. You will, most likely, only need to follow these steps once; after QGIS and GIS4WRF have been installed, you will be notified when updates become available directly in QGIS.

Tip: for the best experience and easiest installation, install on Windows.
