Tutorials

These tutorials walk through common GeoLibre workflows end to end. Each one is short, builds on the User Guide, and links back to the reference pages for the features it uses.

Before you start

  • You can follow most tutorials in the live viewer at viewer.geolibre.app, which is the browser build of GeoLibre. No installation required.
  • A few steps need the desktop app: opening and saving project files, reading local MBTiles and rasters, and the Python sidecar tools (raster processing, sidecar conversions, and Whitebox). These are called out where they appear. See Downloads to install.
  • The sample dataset used in several tutorials is a public GeoParquet file of world countries: https://data.source.coop/giswqs/opengeos/countries.parquet.
