3 These instructions are designed for setting up The Rails Port for development and testing.
4 If you want to deploy the software for your own project, then see the notes at the end.
6 These instructions are based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which is the platform used by the OSMF servers.
7 The instructions also work, with only minor amendments, for all other current Ubuntu releases, Fedora and MacOSX
9 We don't recommend attempting to develop or deploy this software on Windows. If you need to use Windows, then
10 try developing this sofware using Ubuntu in a virtual machine.
14 Many of the dependencies are managed through the standard Ruby on Rails mechanisms -
15 i.e. ruby gems specified in the Gemfile and installed using bundler. However, there are a large number
16 of packages required before you can get the various gems installed.
18 ## Minimum requirements
26 These can be installed on Ubuntu 10.10 or later with:
29 sudo apt-get install ruby libruby ruby-dev rdoc ri ruby-bundler rubygems \
30 libmagickwand-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev \
31 apache2 apache2-threaded-dev build-essential git-core \
32 postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev postgresql-server-dev-all \
36 ### Alternative platforms
40 For Fedora, you can install the minimum requirements with:
43 sudo yum install ruby ruby-devel rubygem-rdoc rubygem-bundler rubygems \
46 postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel \
50 If you didn't already have Postgres installed then create a Postgres instance and start the server:
53 sudo postgresql-setup initdb
54 sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
57 Optionally set Postgres to start on boot:
60 sudo systemctl enable postgresql.service
65 For MacOSX, you will need XCode installed from the Mac App Store; OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later; and some familiarity with Unix development via the Terminal.
69 * Install Postgres.app from http://postgresapp.com/
70 * Add Postgres to your path, by editing your profile:
76 `export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH`
78 Installing other dependencies:
80 * Install Homebrew from http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/
81 * Install the latest version of Ruby: brew install ruby
82 * Install ImageMagick: brew install imagemagick
83 * Install Bundler: gem install bundler
85 Note that OS X does not have a /home directory by default, so if you are using the GPX functions, you will need to change the directories specified in config/application.yml.
87 ## Cloning the repository
89 The repository is reasonably large (~150MB) and it's unlikely that you need the full history. If you are happy to wait for it all to download, run:
92 git clone https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website.git
95 To clone only the most recent version (~23MB), instead use a 'shallow clone':
98 git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website.git
101 If you want to add in the full history later on, perhaps to run `git blame` or `git log`, run `git fetch --depth=1000000`
106 We use [Bundler](http://gembundler.com/) to manage the rubygems required for the project.
109 cd openstreetmap-website
115 We need to create the `config/application.yml` file from the example template. This contains various configuration options.
118 cp config/example.application.yml config/application.yml
121 You can customize your installation of The Rails Port by changing the values in `config/application.yml`
125 The Rails Port uses three databases - one for development, one for testing, and one for production. The database-specific configuration
126 options are stored in `config/database.yml`, which we need to create from the example template.
129 cp config/example.database.yml config/database.yml
132 PostgreSQL is configured to, by default, accept local connections without requiring a username or password. This is fine for development.
133 If you wish to set up your database differently, then you should change the values found in the `config/database.yml` file, and amend the
134 instructions below as appropriate.
136 ### PostgreSQL account setup
138 We need to create a PostgreSQL role (i.e. user account) for your current user, and it needs to be a superuser so that we can create more database.
142 createuser -s <username>
146 ### Create the databases
148 To create the three databases - for development, testing and production - run:
151 bundle exec rake db:create
154 ### PostgreSQL Btree-gist Extension
156 We need to load the btree-gist extension, which is needed for showing changesets on the history tab.
158 For PostgreSQL < 9.1 (change the version number in the path as necessary):
161 psql -d openstreetmap < /usr/share/postgresql/9.0/contrib/btree_gist.sql
164 For PostgreSQL >= 9.1:
167 psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist"
170 ### PostgreSQL Functions
172 We need to install special functions into the postgresql databases, and these are provided by a library that needs compiling first.
180 Then we create the functions within each database. We're using `pwd` to substitute in the current working directory, since PostgreSQL needs the full path.
183 psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE FUNCTION maptile_for_point(int8, int8, int4) RETURNS int4 AS '`pwd`/db/functions/libpgosm', 'maptile_for_point' LANGUAGE C STRICT"
184 psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE FUNCTION tile_for_point(int4, int4) RETURNS int8 AS '`pwd`/db/functions/libpgosm', 'tile_for_point' LANGUAGE C STRICT"
185 psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE FUNCTION xid_to_int4(xid) RETURNS int4 AS '`pwd`/db/functions/libpgosm', 'xid_to_int4' LANGUAGE C STRICT"
188 ### Database structure
190 To create all the tables, indexes and constraints, run:
193 bundle exec rake db:migrate
198 To ensure that everything is set up properly, you should now run:
201 bundle exec rake test
204 This test will take a few minutes, reporting tests run, assertions, and any errors. If you receive no errors, then your installation is successful.
206 The unit tests may output parser errors related to "Attribute lat redefined." These can be ignored.
208 ### Starting the server
210 Rails comes with a built-in webserver, so that you can test on your own machine without needing a server. Run
213 bundle exec rails server
216 You can now view the site in your favourite web-browser at `http://localhost:3000/`
218 Note that the OSM map tiles you see aren't created from your local database - they are just the standard map tiles.
222 After installing this software, you may need to carry out some [configuration steps](CONFIGURE.md), depending on your tasks.
