GraphHopper is an open-source and customizable routing engine that allows you to find routes for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install GraphHopper on Arch Linux.
Before installing GraphHopper on your Arch Linux system, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
GraphHopper requires Java 8 or higher to be installed on your system. If you don’t have Java installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless
Git is a version control system that is used to download GraphHopper’s source code. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
To clone GraphHopper’s repository, open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper.git
Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the graphhopper directory using the following command:
cd graphhopper
Next, build GraphHopper using the following command:
./graphhopper.sh build
This will build the GraphHopper jar file and all the necessary dependencies.
To run GraphHopper, use the following command:
./graphhopper.sh web europe_germany_berlin.pbf
This will start the GraphHopper server and import the Berlin OSM data.
Note: You can replace the Berlin OSM data file with your own OSM data file.
You can access GraphHopper in your web browser using the following URL: http://localhost:8989/
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install GraphHopper on Arch Linux. Now you can use GraphHopper to find the best routes for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
