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

Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) is a high-performance routing engine that is designed to provide fast and efficient routing services. It is a widely used open-source routing solution for a variety of applications, including logistics, routing, and navigation.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OSRM on the latest version of FreeBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation process, there are a few prerequisites that you should have installed on your system:

• Latest version of FreeBSD
• CMake
• Boost libraries
• LuaJIT or Lua 5.2 or 5.3

Step 1: Install CMake and Boost Libraries

To install CMake and Boost libraries, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo pkg install cmake boost-libs

This will download and install these packages on your system.

Step 2: Install LuaJIT or Lua

You can either install LuaJIT or Lua 5.2 or 5.3. In this example, we will install LuaJIT. To install it, run the following commands in your terminal:

sudo pkg install luajit
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/luajit-2.1.0-beta3 /usr/local/bin/lua

This will install LuaJIT on your system and create a symbolic link to it.

Step 3: Download and Build OSRM

Now that we have all the prerequisites installed, we can proceed to download and build OSRM. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest version of OSRM by running the following command in your terminal:

wget https://github.com/Telenav/osrm-backend/archive/v5.25.0.tar.gz

Note that the version number may differ from the one used in this example.

2. Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:

tar xzf v5.25.0.tar.gz

3. Change into the extracted directory:

cd osrm-backend-5.25.0

4. Create a new Build directory and change into it:

mkdir Build && cd Build

5. Configure the build using CMake:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

6. Build OSRM using Make:

make

7. Install OSRM using the following command:

sudo make install

That's it! OSRM is now installed on your FreeBSD Latest system.

Step 4: Running OSRM

Before you can start using OSRM, you will need to download the data and set up the server. You can find detailed instructions for these steps on the OSRM documentation.

Once you have set up the server, you can access the OSRM API by visiting http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install OSRM on FreeBSD Latest. OSRM is a powerful and efficient open-source routing engine that can be used for a variety of applications. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you should now have a fully functional OSRM installation on your FreeBSD Latest system.
