problem linking QGIS plugin to exectuable

[Will]

Hello,

I installed the QGIS plugin per website instructions:

    https://jblindsay.github.io/wbt_book/qgis_plugin.html

and cloned the github repo:

    https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools

However, when I get to Step 6 of the instructions, I get different options without ability to specify an executable.  My screen grab follows:

  

I'm running QGIS 3.16.6 on a Windows 7 Pro x64 machine.

Cheers for any guidance.

Will

PS. Very happy to see Whitebox Tools getting more recognition and nice website upgrade since I checked-in last year. Congratulations!

You can copy and paste the WBT binary file path (add *.exe if you are on Windows) to the executable input box. See the screenshot below.

I forgot to mention: you need to download the WBT binary from https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/download-whiteboxtools. The WBT GitHub repository only contains the source code for the latest version.

Hi Will, 

Thank you for your question and for your kind words about our software/new website, it is greatly appreciated!

The helpful information that Qiusheng provided is correct! You have to copy and paste the WBT binary file path (add *.exe if you are on Windows) to the executable input box. Be sure after you copy and paste it, to off click from the input box so it accepts the changes.

Best ,
