This plugin is published on the official QGIS plugins repository: <https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qsunpotential/>.

## Beta versions released

Enable experimental extensions in the QGIS plugins manager settings panel.

## Earlier development version

If you define yourself as early adopter or a tester and can't wait for the release, the plugin is automatically packaged for each commit to main, so you can use this address as repository URL in your QGIS extensions manager settings:

```url
http://qsunpotential.oslandia.com/plugins.xml
```

Soyez prudent, cette version peut être instable.

## Install CityForge

QSunPotential uses CityForge plugin as a dependency to run `LAS to PVGIS` processing.  If Cityforge is not installed yet on the QGIS profile, a window will open to ask the user to install the plugin:

```{figure} ../static/dependency_manager.png
:name: Dependency manager
```

## Configure Roofer in CityForge
:::warning
**Important**

In order to make `LAS to PVGIS` processing functionnal, CityForge must be configured to be run with Roofer from `Preferences...` menu > `Options` > CityForge tab. Then see [CityForge documentation](https://oslandia.gitlab.io/qgis/cityforge/usage/installation.html#configuring-cityforge-plugin) to configure Roofer.
