This is MapRoulette.

Note that there is also an Amazon EC2 AMI that has all the requirements for MapRoulette already installed and configured. To use, just fire up an instance of ami-8985f0e0 and

cd maproulette
git pull
workon maproulette
python manage.py runserver

MapRoulette requires CoffeeScript, which can easily be installed using npm:

npm install coffee-script -g

Note that you may need to run this as root.

On a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (also successfully tested on 13.04):

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties postgresql-server-dev-9.1 python-dev git virtualenvwrapper

Also make sure you have Postgis 2.0+. Ubuntu does not offer Postgis 2.0+ yet as part of their packages, see here for guidance.

See installation with Homebrew

Note that on Mac OSX you may need to add a symlink to the coffee executable:

ln -s ~/node_modules/coffee-script/bin/coffee /usr/local/bin/

Then as the postgres user:

createuser -s -P osm

Enter the password osm twice.

createdb -O osm maproulette

Then as you:

psql -h localhost -U osm -d maproulette -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis'

At this point you should spawn a new shell for the virtualenvwrapper scripts to be sourced.

Set up the virtual environment and activate it:

mkvirtualenv maproulette

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/osmlab/maproulette.git

Install the python requirements:

cd maproulette/
pip install -r requirements.txt

Ensure that maproulette will be accessible to python:

add2virtualenv .

Generate a Flask application secret:

python bin/make_secret.py

Create a configuration file. Start by copying the example and modify as needed:

cp maproulette/maproulette.cfg.example maproulette/maproulette.cfg

Generate the database tables:

python manage.py create_db

And run the server:

python manage.py runserver

At this point you should see:

• Running on http://0.0.0.0:3000/
• Restarting with reloader

And you should have a MapRoulette instance at http://localhost:3000/
