Raster Calculator plugin Raster Calculator plugin.

Installation

Ubuntu package

For anyone who would like to experiment with the plugins, please download the qgis-plugins-meshing Ubuntu package which is available in the following PPA:

ppa:meshing/release

(which depends on packages in ppa:ubuntugis/ppa)

Commands required:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:meshing/release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qgis-plugins-meshing

If the final command fails, please download the package manually from

http://amcg.ese.ic.ac.uk/~asc/public/qgis-plugins-meshing_1.9_all.deb

and install with

sudo dpkg -i qgis-plugins-meshing_1.9_all.deb

(there is a fix for Precise, which is currently being processed by Launchpad)
