Installing the WPS extensionΒΆ

The WPS module is not a part of GeoServer core, but instead must be installed as an extension. To install WPS:

  1. Navigate to the GeoServer download page

  2. Find the page that matches the version of the running GeoServer.

    Warning

    Be sure to match the version of the extension with that of GeoServer, otherwise errors will occur.

  3. Download the WPS extension. The download link for WPS will be in the Extensions section under Other.

  4. Extract the files in this archive to the WEB-INF/lib directory of your GeoServer installation.

  5. Restart GeoServer.

After restarting, load the Web Administration Interface. If the extension loaded properly, you should see an extra entry for WPS in the Service Capabilities column. If you don’t see this entry, check the logs for errors.
