Downloading Riverscapes QGIS Plugins

Created by Joseph Wheaton, Modified on Fri, 8 Mar at 9:54 AM by Dominique Shore

Much of the functionality for geoprocessing in QGIS is found in community contributed Plugins. The Riverscapes Consortium developed and supports two Plugins currently in QGIS: 

  1. Riverscapes Viewer for viewing Riverscapes Projects (e.g. downloaded from the Data Exchange)
  2. Riverscapes Studio (QRiS) for monitoring riverscape health and doing LTPBR Planning, Design and As-Builts


How to install Riverscapes QGIS Plugins

  1. Open QGIS
  2. Select 'Plugins' from the top Menu Bar and select 'Manage and Install Plugins'
  3. From the Plugins window, select settings and ensure the box next to 'Show also Experimental Plugins' is selected 
  4. From the left navigation bar, select 'Not installed', enter 'Riverscapes' into the search bar and select 'Riverscapes Viewer'. Then select 'Install Experimental Plugin'. Note: Riverscapes Viewer must be installed before installing QRiS
  5.  After installing the Riverscapes Viewer, follow the same steps to install QRiS. 
  6. When the Plugins are successfully installed, they will be added to the Toolbars.
