How to Install Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM), which is a high-performance routing engine for OpenStreetMap data.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation, there are a few prerequisites that you need to have on your Fedora Server:

• Access to sudo or root user privileges
• Internet connection
• Git
• CMake
• Boost Libraries and Tools
• GCC
• LuaJIT
• zlib

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

To install the dependencies mentioned above, you can use the following command:

sudo dnf install -y git cmake gcc gcc-c++ boost-devel boost-static luajit-devel zlib-devel

Step 2: Clone the OSRM Repository

Once you have installed the dependencies, you can clone the OSRM repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Telenav/osrm-backend.git

Once the cloning process is completed, you can navigate to the cloned directory with the following command:

cd osrm-backend

Step 3: Build the OSRM Backend Server

To build the OSRM backend server, you need to use the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Please note that the make command may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 4: Download Map Data

To use OSRM, you need to download map data from OpenStreetMap. You can use the wget command to download the data for your desired location.

For example, to download data for New York City, use the following command:

wget http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/us/new-york-latest.osm.pbf

Step 5: Preprocess the Map Data

Once you have downloaded the map data, you need to preprocess it to make it compatible with the OSRM backend server. You can use the following command to preprocess the data:

./osrm-extract new-york-latest.osm.pbf
./osrm-partition new-york-latest.osrm
./osrm-customize new-york-latest.osrm

Please note that this step may take a while to complete, depending on the size of the map data.

Step 6: Start the OSRM Server

Once the preprocessing is completed, you can start the OSRM server with the following command:

./osrm-routed new-york-latest.osrm

The server will be accessible at http://localhost:5000/.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) on your Fedora Server. You can now use the OSRM server to provide high-performance routing for OpenStreetMap data.

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!
