OpenTripPlanner is a multi-modal trip planning tool originally developed by the City of Portland. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing OpenTripPlanner on your Void Linux system.
Before you start with the installation process, make sure you have the following:
Before we can start with the installation process of OpenTripPlanner, we need to ensure that all the required dependencies are installed on our system.
Open the terminal and execute the following command:
xbps-install -S git default-jre
This command will install the git version control system and the default Java Runtime Environment.
Now, we will clone the OpenTripPlanner repository onto our system.
Execute the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/opentripplanner/OpenTripPlanner.git
This will download the entire OpenTripPlanner repository onto your system.
Now, we will build and install OpenTripPlanner.
Execute the following commands one by one:
cd OpenTripPlanner
./gradlew build
This will build OpenTripPlanner.
./gradlew shadowJar
This will create a fat JAR file that we can run on our system.
java -Xmx2G -jar ./target/otp.jar --build /path/to/your/data
This command will execute OpenTripPlanner on our system with the -Xmx2G flag that sets the heap size to 2 GB, and the --build flag with the path to your own data. Replace "/path/to/your/data" with the path to your own data.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenTripPlanner on your Void Linux system.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the installation process of OpenTripPlanner on a Void Linux system. You can now use OpenTripPlanner to plan your multi-modal trips. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to refer to the OpenTripPlanner documentation or contact the OpenTripPlanner community for support.
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!
