B. Developers

1. Open your shell and clone the repository into a local QGIS Python Plugin Folder::
cd %USERPROFILE%\.qgis2\python\plugins
git clone https://bitbucket.org/jakimowb/hub-timeseriesviewer.git
2. Checkout the development branch (this might change with the fist stable master version)::
git checkout development
git lfs checkout
