If I'm not wrong, our standalone installer is based on the OSGeo4W and installs the latter. So users can easily use the OSGeo4W installer to download any additional dependencies they want/need.
Another option would be to add an option to the standalone installer to download grids, similarly to what we had in the old NSIS installer for Alaska dataset. пн, 23 бер. 2026 р. о 09:20 Tim Sutton via QGIS-Developer < [email protected]> пише: > Hi all > > Here in the infrastructure management club for QGIS we have been embarking > on a plan to slowly divest ourselves of 'big tech'.
