Follow instruction below to start using timor_geodata on your django project

Notes

Maybe, this Geodata can only running in postgresSQL database

Sources of Shapefiles

• Timor-Leste - Subnational Administrative Boundaries https://data.humdata.org/m/dataset/cod-ab-tls

Instalations

• The latest version of postgresSQL has more tools for geo data, visit this https://postgresapp.com/documentation/

• GeoDjango requirements - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/contrib/gis/install/#homebrew

• Installing PostGIS - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/contrib/gis/install/postgis/#creating-a-spatial-database

First Method

On your Django project directory, run git submodule command below to get this repo in your Django project as gitsubmodule:

git submodule add [email protected]:marobo/timor_geodata.git

To include the app in your project, we need to add a reference to its configuration class in the INSTALLED_APPS section in setting.py.

Edit the mysite/settings.py file and add the timor_geodata app and 'django.contrib.gis', to the INSTALLED_APPS setting. It’ll look like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'timor_geodata', # New
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.gis', # New
]

The TimorGeodataConfig class is in the timor_geodata/apps.py file, so its dotted path is timor_geodata.apps.TimorGeodataConfig.

Change the default db engine to postgis

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
        'NAME': 'databasename_db',
    }
}

After this configuration, Now Django knows the timor_geodata as an app in this project.

Let’s run another command to apply the migrations from that app:

./manage.py migrate

Second Method

Clone this repository into your existing Django project by copy and paste the command below two your terminal and press ENTER:

git clone [email protected]:marobo/timor_geodata.git

cd into timor_geodata directory and then delete git from this repo to prevent runnging multiple git repo in the project.

cd timor_geodata
rm -rf .git

Add this timor_geodata app into your installation app on your Django project settings.py as in first instruction methor.

and then run ./manage.py migrate to apply the migrations from timor_geodata app
