The Windows installer has an option to download the QGIS sample dataset. If checked, the data will be downloaded to your Documents
folder and placed in a folder called GIS Database
. You may use Windows Explorer to move this folder to any convenient location. If you did not select the checkbox to install the sample dataset during the initial QGIS installation, you may do one of the following:
-
Use GIS data that you already have
-
Download sample data from https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Sample-Data/archive/master.zip and unzip the archive on any convenient location on your system.
-
Uninstall QGIS and reinstall with the data download option checked (only recommended if the above solutions are unsuccessful)
