Thanks for the pointer on this.  I tried installing the plugin on QGIS
4.0.3, but it required a previously installed the Python 3 duckdb module
(this is on Ubuntu 26.04), which is not available in the Ubuntu
repositories, nor can it easily be installed (via pip) since the python3
environment on Ubuntu 26.04 is "externally managed".  I gather conda is
another option but I think I'll give up for now on this plugin and have a
look at downloading the data directly.

By the way, I see this at the bottom of the readme file for the GeoParquet
Downloader for QGIS page on GitHub
https://github.com/cholmes/qgis_plugin_gpq_downloader/blob/main/README.md#installation

This plugin has been made entirely with AI coding tools (primarily Cursor
with claude-3.5-sonnet). Contributions are very welcome, both from more
experienced python developers who can help clean up the code and add
missing features, and from anyone who wants a place to do AI-assisted
coding that (hopefully) actually gets widely used.

I'm interested in exploring open source collaboration in the age of AI
coding tools, especially working with less experienced developers who'd
like to contribute, so don't hesitate to jump in with AI-assisted pull
requests.

And any help on ideas/feedback, documentation, testing, promoting, etc. is
very welcome!
