To help generate new OGC-API Process plugins a Python package template has been created for use with the Python cookiecutter module. The module can be installed using the command:

`pip3 install cookiecutter`.

Once installed the cookiecutter can be used with:

cookiecutter gh:opencdms/pygeoapi-process-cookiecutter

The following prompt will be displayed:
