SentinelHub QGIS Plugin

SentinelHub QGIS Plugin enables users to harness the power of Sentinel Hub services directly from QGIS.

Since version 2.0.0 the plugin only works with QGIS 3 and Python version >=3.5 while earlier versions support both QGIS 2 and QGIS 3.

Install

SentinelHub QGIS Plugin is available in QGIS Official Plugin Repository. For install just open QGIS, select Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins and search for the plugin.

In case of manual installation, you can download latest release, unzip it into QGIS Plugin directory and enable plugin under QGIS Installed Plugins.

Usage

Development

Set up an environment

• Set up an empty Python environment.
• Install development requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt

• Download Python packages that QGIS might not have by default and will be packed together with the plugin:

mkdir ./SentinelHub/external
pip download -d ./SentinelHub/external --no-deps -r requirements.txt

• Configure a path to QGIS Python environment. The path depends on your OS and QGIS installation. Examples:

# Linux
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

# macOS (check your QGIS.app version)
export PYTHONPATH=/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python

# Windows
set PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.x\apps\qgis\python

Development tips

• Use pb_tool to package and deploy the code to your local QGIS repository (run from the SentinelHub directory where pb_tool.cfg is located)

cd ./SentinelHub
pbt deploy -y

• Use pylint to check code style

pylint SentinelHub

• Install Plugin Reloader in QGIS in order to dynamically reload your plugin every time you redeploy it.

Release

• Package code into a zip file using pb_tool

cd ./SentinelHub
pbt zip

• Release the plugin on GitHub and attach the generated zip file.
• Release the plugin to QGIS Python Plugins Repository by manually uploading the zip file to a release form.
