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

Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) is a routing engine designed for OpenStreetMap data. It allows you to calculate the shortest or fastest route between two or more points, and can also provide turn-by-turn directions for navigation. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OSRM on Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

To install OSRM on Ubuntu Server, you need to install several dependencies first. Open the console and type the following command:

sudo apt install build-essential git cmake pkg-config \
libbz2-dev libxml2-dev libzip-dev libboost-all-dev \
lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libtbb-dev

This command installs build tools, libraries, and dependencies that are required by OSRM.

Step 2: Clone OSRM Repository

Next, you need to clone the OSRM repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend.git

This command fetches the source code from the OSRM backend repository.

Step 3: Build OSRM

Now you are ready to build OSRM. Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository using the following command:

cd osrm-backend

Then, create a directory to store the build files:

mkdir -p build
cd build

Finally, run the following command to build OSRM:

cmake ..
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

This command runs the cmake build system, builds the OSRM backend and installs it on your system.

Step 4: Download OSM data

To use OSRM, you need OpenStreetMap data. You can download the data for a specific area from the OpenStreetMap website or use the following command to download the data for the entire planet:

wget http://planet.osm.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf

This command downloads the latest version of the planet.osm file in PBF format.

Step 5: Prepare OSM data

Now that you have downloaded the OSM data, you need to prepare it for use with OSRM. Run the following command to extract the data:

osrm-extract planet-latest.osm.pbf -p profile.lua

This command uses the profile.lua file to extract the routing data from the planet.osm.pbf file and create a .osrm file.

Next, you need to prepare the .osrm file for use with OSRM. Run the following command:

osrm-contract planet-latest.osrm

This command contracts the .osrm file and creates a .osrm.hsgr file that can be used by OSRM.

Step 6: Start OSRM

You are now ready to start OSRM with the following command:

osrm-routed planet-latest.osrm

This command starts the OSRM backend server and loads the planet-latest.osrm file. You should see a message similar to the following:

Listening on: http://0.0.0.0:5000

This indicates that the server is running and ready to receive requests.

Step 7: Test OSRM

To test OSRM, open a web browser and enter the following URL:

http://localhost:5000/route/v1/driving/<longitude>,<latitude>;<longitude>,<latitude>?steps=true

Replace <longitude> and <latitude> with the coordinates of two points. For example:

http://localhost:5000/route/v1/driving/13.388860,52.517037;13.397634,52.529407?steps=true

This URL should return a JSON response containing the shortest/fastest route between the two points.

You have successfully installed and tested OSRM on Ubuntu Server. Congratulations!

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!
