JupyterGIS - A JupyterLab extension for collaborative GIS

Features

• Collaborative GIS Environment: Work together on geographic data projects in real-time.
• QGIS File Support: Load, visualize, and manipulate QGIS project files (.qgs, .qgz), and other GIS data formats.
• Interactive Maps: Render interactive maps and geospatial visualizations within Jupyter notebooks using the JupyterGIS Python API.

🪄 Try JupyterGIS now in Notebook.link! ✨

This demo runs a JupyterLite instance entirely in your browser with WebAssembly! 🤯

Powered by Notebook.link and JupyterLite.
Please note that JupyterGIS' real-time collaboration features are not yet supported in JupyterLite.

Installation

Prerequisites

• JupyterLab (version 3.0 or higher)
• (OPTIONAL) QGIS installed on your system and its Python modules available in the PATH. e.g. mamba install --channel conda-forge qgis

Installing JupyterGIS

From PyPI

python -m pip install jupytergis

From conda-forge

JupyterGIS is also packaged and distributed on conda-forge.

To install and add JupyterGIS to a project with pixi, from the project directory run

pixi add jupytergis

and to install into a particular conda environment with mamba, in the activated environment run

mamba install --channel conda-forge jupytergis

With Docker

docker run -p 8888:8888 ghcr.io/geojupyter/jupytergis:latest

Replace latest with a specific version number if you prefer.
Docker build source is at https://github.com/geojupyter/jupytergis-docker.

Deploying JupyterGIS with JupyterLite

You can run JupyterGIS entirely in the browser using JupyterLite.

1. Create a repository using the xeus-lite-demo template.
2. In your fork, edit environment.yml and add:

   - jupytergis-lite

3. Add your data and jGIS files under the content/ directory of your repository.
   These files will be available directly inside your Lite deployment.
4. Enable GitHub Pages under Settings → Pages for your repository.
5. Once the build completes, your Lite deployment will be live at:

   https://<username>.github.io/<repo-name>/
   

This provides a lightweight, fully browser-based JupyterGIS environment — no server required.
