Here below are listed the instruction for install:

1. If you are using docker, stop services

   docker-compose down

2. Add "gdc" to your INSTALLED_APPS by adding the following lines at the end of ./geonode/settings.py file:

   # Addition of gdc app
   INSTALLED_APPS += ('geonode.gdc',)

3. Include the gdc URLconf in ./geonode/urls.py file like this:

   if "geonode.gdc" in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
       urlpatterns += [  # '',
           url(r'^gdc/', include('geonode.gdc.urls')),
       ]

4. Move gdc folder inside ./geonode django project folder:

5. If you are using docker, rebuild geonode and restart services (this may stop the web site for a while):

   docker-compose down && docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d
