Installing QCity

To install QCity, open the QGIS Plugin Manager by clicking on the top menu Plugins → Manage and Install Plugins.

In the dialog that opens, type QCity in the search bar.

In the middle panel, click on QCity and then click on Install Plugin.

The Plugin Manager will then install QCity for you. When the installation is complete, click on Close.

Any further updates to QCity will be available to you within the Plugin Manager.

Once installed, QCity will appear as an icon in the Plugins Toolbar.

If the Plugins Toolbar is not visible, right click on one of the existing toolbars and make sure the Plugins Toolbar is ticked to visible in the toolbars menu.
