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

Fri Jun 14 09:16:10 UTC 2013

Hey Henrik,

Since the geojson preview is not on master yet, you will have to run this pip command after you have activated your virtual env:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-spatial.git@21-geojson-preview#egg=ckanext-spatial

Of course, you can also wait for the pull request to be merged into master.

Cheers,
Dominik
