THREDDS Explorer is a QGIS-based plug-in designed to make it easy for users to access georeferenced data accessible through any THREDDS based server.

Data catalogues and maps are exposed to the user through a simple user interface, which allows him to choose any map or explore all contents of the server without resorting to exploring the default web based THREDDS interface.

This plug-in should work with most THREDDS servers, and will be able to retrieve any layer provided through WMS, WMS-T and/or WCS services published by the server.

To install this plug-in, copy the content to your QGIS plug-in directory: Usually these are the locations for plugins repository:

• For windows:

       $ C:\Program Files\QGIS\python\plugins
  
   	$ C:\Documents and Settings\$username\.qgis\python\plugins
  

• For Linux:

       $ /share/qgis/python/plugins
  
   	$ ~/.qgis/python/plugins
  

• For Mac OS X:

       $ /Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/plugins
  
       $ /Users/$username/.qgis/python/plugins
  

NOTE: it is possible to define additional paths for QGIS to look for your plug-ins, by defining the _QGIS_PLUGINPATH_ environment variable with a full path to the new desired plug-in folder.
