gdal-bin, libspreadsheet-parseexcel-simple-perl, unzip
You can download the Reference documents and final 34 DLC classes landcover TIFF using,

To unzip these downloads run,
./scripts/02-unzip.sh
Next to reproject the TIFF to web mercator use,
./scripts/03-reproject.sh
Then finally to generate the QGIS and Mapnik stylesheets (only the RasterColorizer stop elements) run,
./scripts/04-transform-classification.pl
To use this stylesheet in QGIS, select the properties of the tiff layer you have just opened.
Then under style use Band 1
