The first step was to download the installer images for QGIS 2.4 and GDAL 1.11 from KyngChaos. Well, to be honest I also realized that I should update to be able to use the tFilterExpression() method to make use of filtering expressions (introduced in version 2.2). Today I finally found some breathing room in my projects to dare updating my MacBook Pro (running MacOS X 10.9.4 Mavericks) from QGIS 2.0 (Dufour) to the recently released version 2.4 (Chugiak). And there was a small surprise waiting for me here, as MacOS asked me to update my Java SE 6 runtime! But before I updated my QGIS 2.4 to the new version 2.6 I first tried if 2.4 still runs on my freshly upgraded MacOS Yosemite. To make a long story short, in my case the installation ran smoothly and was done in about half an hour – downloading the necessary disk images took most of time. So I sat down on my freshly delivered sofa between unpacked boxes to try my luck. This is owed to some major changes in my life, including the successful end of my PhD program, a successful job hunt, a move from Japan to Germany, and an interesting yet challenging start in my new job at a major German research institute.īut the recent release of MacOS 10.10 “Yosemite” together with the even more recent release of the new QGIS 2.6 “Brighton” was a brilliant opportunity to not only bring back some life here, but also to continue my mini-series of articles about installing and running QGIS and other rather scientific software packages on the latest versions of MacOS (see here, here, and here for example). It’s been awfully quiet here on the blog recently. Spatial Terrorism Vulnerability Analysis.
