 Installation

-but we can not provide installation support. We are all doing this in our free
-time and there is just so much of that time to go around. Do not open issues in
-our bug tracker if you need help. Use the discussions forum
-or ask for help on [help.openstreetmap.org](https://help.openstreetmap.org/).**
