Installation

To install an extension:

  1. Extract the contents of the OpenGeo Suite extensions archive.

  2. Locate the directory that contains the extension to install (such as wps for the WPS extension).

  3. Copy the files in that directory to the GeoServer library path. This path is often webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib, where webapps is the application server’s web applications directory.

    Note

    You may be warned about overwriting existing files. This is okay.

  4. Restart the application server.

  5. Confirm that the extension was installed properly. Typically, the feature will be displayed on the GeoServer Welcome page, or as an available data source.
