Compatibility with core CKAN versions:

CKAN version	Compatible?
2.9 and earlier	no
2.10+	yes

Installation

1. Install the extension from PyPI:

   pip install ckanext-charts
   

   If you want to use ORC file cache, you have to install the extension with the pyarrow extra:

   pip install ckanext-charts[pyarrow]
   

2. Enable the view and builder plugins in your CKAN configuration file (e.g. ckan.ini or production.ini):

   ckan.plugins = ... charts_view charts_builder_view ...
   

Dependencies

The extension requires the following CKAN extensions to be installed and enabled:

1. ckanext-scheming: We're using the scheming extension to create custom forms for the chart builders.

2. ckanext-admin-panel (optional): If you want to use the admin configuration page, you need to install and enable this extension. The admin panel is a separate extension that provides an alternative admin interface for CKAN. It allows you to manage CKAN settings and other extensions settings through the web interface and significantly extends the default CKAN admin interface.
