This tutorial will guide you through the installation of GraphHopper on Elementary OS Latest.
GraphHopper requires Java 8 or later to run. If you don't have Java installed, you can install it with the following command:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
Visit the GraphHopper website and click on the "Download" button. Select "GraphHopper Open Source" and download the latest version for Linux.
Alternatively, you can download and extract GraphHopper from the command line with the following commands:
wget https://graphhopper.com/public/releases/graphhopper-web-VERSION-bin.zip
unzip graphhopper-web-VERSION-bin.zip
Replace VERSION with the latest version of GraphHopper.
To test GraphHopper, navigate to the graphhopper-VERSION folder and run the following command:
./graphhopper.sh web
This will start the GraphHopper server. Once it has started, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8989. You should see the GraphHopper UI.
By default, GraphHopper will use the OpenStreetMap data for routing. If you want to use your own data, you need to create a configuration file. To create a configuration file, navigate to the graphhopper-VERSION folder and run the following command:
./graphhopper.sh config
This will create a config.yml file. You can edit this file to configure GraphHopper.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and tested GraphHopper on Elementary OS Latest. You can now use it for routing and navigation. Happy mapping!
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!
