 Data exchange through a database can be accomplished through networks ranging from one local machine, to the internet. In order to achieve functionality of the QGIS/ OpenGeo database feature, some GIS and server setup are necessary. Client-side requires the [https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html current] version of QGIS (at time of writing this is 3.8 ‘Zanzibar’). Server-side should have the latest version of either [http://geoserver.org/download/ GeoServer], or [https://postgis.net/install/ PostGIS]. A functioning Python install is required, as well as basic knowledge of 'Command Prompt' commands. <br>
 Individual configuration will be machine dependent.

 In Command Prompt:
     pip install paver
 The above command installs paver, from here you need to install OpenGeo Explorer:
     $ paver setup
     $ paver install

 OpenGeo Explorer is a plugin which was originally developed by Boundless. Earlier in 2019, Boundless was purchased by Federal, and from this acquisition, [https://www.planet.com/  Planet Federal] was created. As a result, much of the work done by Boundless has been abandoned, including the OpenGeo Explorer plugin. Nevertheless, the plugin has been updated since the time the original tutorial was written, and so this revision of the tutorial will hopefully identify whether it works or not.
 OpenGeo Explorer is essentially a GUI (Guided User Interface) which serves as an easy and convenient way to transfer files between QGIS, and the GeoServer or PostGIS instance.
