[Qgis-user] LAStools on Mac Catalina --- LAS -> LAZ

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,
Lastools, to my knowledge is pc based. Laszip, according to this page, can be complied for Mac https://laszip.org/.  

The latest version of QGIS supports Lidar and I know that the OSGEO4W does install the pdal library. PDAL contains many lastools like functions with the added bonus of being OpenSource.  I expect that this would also be installed with the Mac QGIS installer.  If you install 3.20 on Windows, make sure you make a fresh install using the latest installer.  You cannot update a old installation in an existing folder.

Sorry for not being too precise, I have not yet played with the new Lidar tools.
