Hi guys, I found quite "difficult" to had OTB working within Processing. In Linux I had to install (OTB of course) and another package (otb-qgis) and then it appears in the Processing providers and seems now working. This maybe a bug. Otb-qgis package provides tools to generate descriptor files for otb alogirthms. OTB processing provider uses this tool only if it cannot find a descriptor file which should be in package by default. Good news is if there is otb-qgis package installed, it is able to create them on the fly and everything works. A simple fix would be to add otb-qgis as a dependency to "otb" package. This must be done in debian package control! > Are there any specific instructions to have it installed, also in Windows > environments? OTB installation on windows is Download and extract zip file from orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/ 6.6.1 is latest https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/OTB-6.6.1-Win64.zip You can simply change location of OTB-X.Y.Z-Linux64 shown in README.md[1] with your OTB windows archive. Idea: Add download and extract of OTB into qgis windows installer?. Can be optional like GRASS. So windows users won't have to go through any stuff. > If yes, could it be a good idea to add these instructions in the > documentation? Do you mean in qgis documentation ? Configuration instructions are detailed in README.md[1]. Maybe this could show as help dialog in qgis ? Not just for OTB, other providers can benefit from it. https://gitlab.orfeo-toolbox.org/orfeotoolbox/qgis-otb-plugin/blob/master/README.md#open-processing-settings Cheers and thanks Matteo _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
