How to run the app (on a Mac)

Basics

Install Postgre

  • cd to the app directory
  • brew install postgresql
  • brew install postgis
  • brew services start postgresql
  • createdb dump-prod

Set up the app

  • cd to the app directory
  • install rails: sudo gem install rails
  • bundle install
  • rake db:setup

Import prod data

  • dropdb dump-prod && createdb dump-prod
  • psql -d dump-prod < db/dump-prod.sql
  • rake db:migrate

Run the app

  • bin/dev

Mapbox credentials

  • Create an account on https://www.mapbox.com.
  • Go to the Tokens page and create a public token with all the public scopes (or just use the default token).
  • Back in the Rails app, copy the .env.example to .env and fill out MAPBOX_DEV_ACCESS_KEY with your token
  • Restart the server

Optional: JOSM

Josm is an open source tool used by the OpenStreetMap community. We use it to edit GeoJSON files.

  • Follow the instructions here: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download#macOS
  • Go to File > Preferences > Plugins
  • Click on the checkbox next to Fastdraw and PicLayer, and then click on OK
  • Restart Josm
  • In the menu bar (on the left), click on Fast Drawing mode and then type Q to enter the options dialog. Click on Draw closed polygons only, choose 3 for Starting Epsilon and Simplify with initial epsilon for Enter key mode
