# Installation
-These instructions are designed for setting up The Rails Port for development and testing.
+These instructions are designed for setting up `openstreetmap-website` for development and testing.
If you want to deploy the software for your own project, then see the notes at the end.
-You can install the software directly on your machine, which is the traditional and probably best-supported approach. However, there is an alternative which may be easier: Vagrant. This installs the software into a virtual machine, which makes it easier to get a consistent development environment and may avoid installation difficulties. For Vagrant instructions, see [VAGRANT.md](VAGRANT.md).
+You can install the software directly on your machine, which is the traditional and probably best-supported approach. However, there
+are two alternatives which make it easier to get a consistent development environment and may avoid installation difficulties:
-These instructions are based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which is the platform used by the OSMF servers.
+* **Vagrant** This installs the software into a virtual machine. For Vagrant instructions see [VAGRANT.md](VAGRANT.md).
+* **Docker** This installs the software using containerization. For Docker instructions see [DOCKER.md](DOCKER.md).

+These instructions are based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, which is the platform used by the OSMF servers.
The instructions also work, with only minor amendments, for all other current Ubuntu releases, Fedora and MacOSX
-We don't recommend attempting to develop or deploy this software on Windows. If you need to use Windows, then try developing this software using Ubuntu in a virtual machine, or use [Vagrant](VAGRANT.md).

```
If you didn't already have PostgreSQL installed then create a PostgreSQL instance and start the server:
Installing PostgreSQL:
* Install Postgres.app from https://postgresapp.com/
+* Make sure that you've initialized and started Postgresql from the app (there should be a little elephant icon in your systray).
* Add PostgreSQL to your path, by editing your profile:
`nano ~/.profile`
`export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH`
+After this, you may need to start a new shell window, or source the profile again by running `. ~/.profile`.
+
Installing other dependencies:
* Install Homebrew from https://brew.sh/
* Install the latest version of Ruby: `brew install ruby`
-* Install ImageMagick: `brew install imagemagick`
-* Install libxml2: `brew install libxml2 --with-xml2-config`
-* If you want to run the tests, you need `phantomjs` as well: `brew install phantomjs`
-* Install Bundler: `gem install bundler`
+* Install other dependencies: `brew install libxml2 gd yarn pngcrush optipng pngquant jhead jpegoptim gifsicle svgo advancecomp vips`
+* Install Bundler: `gem install bundler` (you might need to `sudo gem install bundler` if you get an error about permissions - or see note below about [developer Ruby setup](#rbenv))
+
+You will need to tell `bundler` that `libxml2` is installed in a Homebrew location. If it uses the system-installed one then you will get errors installing the `libxml-ruby` gem later on<a name="macosx-bundle-config"></a>.
+
+```
+bundle config build.libxml-ruby --with-xml2-config=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/bin/xml2-config
+```
+
+If you want to run the tests, you need `geckodriver` as well:
+
+```
+brew install geckodriver
+```
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.
## Ruby gems
-We use [Bundler](http://gembundler.com/) to manage the rubygems required for the project.

+`openstreetmap-website` uses three databases - one for development, one for testing, and one for production. The database-specific configuration
options are stored in `config/database.yml`, which we need to create from the example template.
```
To create the three databases - for development, testing and production - run:
```
-bundle exec rake db:create
-```
-
-### PostgreSQL Btree-gist Extension
-
-We need to load the `btree-gist` extension, which is needed for showing changesets on the history tab.
-
-```
-psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE EXTENSION btree_gist"
-```
-
-### PostgreSQL Functions
-
-We need to install special functions into the PostgreSQL databases, and these are provided by a library that needs compiling first.
-
-```
-cd db/functions
-make libpgosm.so
-cd ../..
-```
-
-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.
-
-```
-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"
-psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE FUNCTION tile_for_point(int4, int4) RETURNS int8 AS '`pwd`/db/functions/libpgosm', 'tile_for_point' LANGUAGE C STRICT"
-psql -d openstreetmap -c "CREATE FUNCTION xid_to_int4(xid) RETURNS int4 AS '`pwd`/db/functions/libpgosm', 'xid_to_int4' LANGUAGE C STRICT"
+bundle exec rails db:create
```
### Database structure
To create all the tables, indexes and constraints, run:
```
-bundle exec rake db:migrate
+bundle exec rails db:migrate
```
## Running the tests
To ensure that everything is set up properly, you should now run:
```
-bundle exec rake test:db
+bundle exec rails test:all
```
This test will take a few minutes, reporting tests run, assertions, and any errors. If you receive no errors, then your installation is successful.
bundle exec rails server
```

# Configuration
After installing this software, you may need to carry out some [configuration steps](CONFIGURE.md), depending on your tasks.
+
+# Ruby development install and versions<a name="rbenv"></a> (optional)
+
+For simplicity, this document explains how to install all the website dependencies as "system" dependencies. While this is simpler, and usually faster, you might want more control over the process or the ability to install multiple different versions of software alongside each other. For many developers, [`rbenv`](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv) is the easiest way to manage multiple different Ruby versions on the same computer - with the added advantage that the installs are all in your home directory, so you don't need administrator permissions.
+
+If you choose to install Ruby and Bundler via `rbenv`, then you do not need to install the system libraries for Ruby:
+
+* For Ubuntu, you do not need to install the following packages: `ruby ruby-dev ruby-bundler`,
+* For Fedora, you do not need to install the following packages: `ruby ruby-devel rubygem-rdoc rubygem-bundler rubygems`
+* For MacOSX, you do not need to `brew install ruby` - but make sure you've installed a version of Ruby using `rbenv` before running `gem install bundler`!
+
+After installing a version of Ruby with `rbenv` (the latest stable version is a good place to start), you will need to make that the default. From inside the `openstreetmap-website` directory, run:
+
+```
+rbenv local $VERSION
+```
+
+Where `$VERSION` is the version you installed. Then install bundler:
+
+```
+gem install bundler
+```
+
+You should now be able to proceed with the rest of the installation. If you're on MacOSX, make sure you set up the [config override for the libxml2 location](#macosx-bundle-config) _after_ installing bundler.
