[ckan-dev] GeoJSON-preview in CKAN, possible?

Fri Jun 14 08:38:40 UTC 2013

Hi Henrik,

To activate the python virtualenv in a packge install, do the following:

sudo su
source /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

Then you can install the packages into the virtualenv like so:

pip install -e git+
https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-spatial.git@stable#egg=ckanext-spatial

Alternatively, you can directly use the following:

sudo /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/pip -e git+
https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-spatial.git@stable#egg=ckanext-spatial

Please feel free to email the list in case you face trouble.
