VTS-VTSD is HTTP server for surface and map configuration delivery.
VTS-VTSD user documentation is being created in separate project and can be seen on https://vts-geospatial.org
You basically need just 2 steps to get VTS-VTSD installed: git clone the
source code from the repository and make it. But there are some tricky parts
of the process, so read carefully following compilation howto.
Make sure, you have cmake and g++ installed, before you try to compile
anything.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake g++
Before you can run VTS-VTSD, you need at least VTS-Registry downloaded and installed in your system. Please refer to related README.md file, about how to install and compile VTS-Registry.
VTS-VTSD is using (among other libraries) OpenMesh. You have to download and install OpenMesh library and this is, how you do it
git clone https://www.graphics.rwth-aachen.de:9000/OpenMesh/OpenMesh.git
cd OpenMesh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
VTS-VTSD needs newer version of GDAL library, than it is
available in Ubuntu repos. Therefore you need to add UbuntuGIS
repository to your apt sources:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
sudo apt-get update
Now we can download and install rest of the dependencies, which are needed to get VTS-VTSD compiled:
sudo apt-get install \
libboost-dev \
libboost-thread-dev \
libboost-program-options-dev \
libboost-filesystem-dev \
libboost-regex-dev \
libboost-iostreams-dev\
libboost-python-dev \
libopencv-dev libopencv-core-dev libopencv-highgui-dev \
libopencv-photo-dev libopencv-imgproc-dev libeigen3-dev libgdal-dev \
libproj-dev libgeographic-dev libjsoncpp-dev \
libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libprocps-dev libmagic-dev gawk sqlite3
The source code can be downloaded from
GitHub repository, but since there are
external dependences, you have to use --recursive switch while cloning the
repo.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Melown/vts-vtsd.git
NOTE: If you did clone from GitHub previously without the --recursive
parameter, you should probably delete the vts-vtsd directory and clone
again. The build will not work otherwise.
For building VTS-VTSD, you just have to use make
cd vtsd
make -j4 # to compile in 4 threads
Default target location (for later make install) is /usr/local/ directory.
You can set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable, to change it:
make set-variable VARIABLE=CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/prefix
You should see compilation progress. Depends, how many threads you allowed for
the compilation (the -jNUMBER parameter) it might take couple of minutes to an
hour of compilation time.
The binaries are then stored in bin directory. Development libraries are
stored in lib directory.
You should be able to call make install, which will install to either defaul
location /usr/local/ or to directory defined previously by the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable (see previous part).
When you specify the DESTDIR variable, resulting files will be saved in
$DESTDIR/$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX directory (this is useful for packaging), e.g.
make install DESTDIR=/home/user/tmp/
We provide precompiled packages for some popular linux distributions. See Melown OSS package repository for more information. This repository contains all needed packages to run VTS OSS software.
First you need to create vtsd.conf configuration file. Sample vtsd.conf can be found in the vtsd-backend project. You then can run
vtsd --help
vtsd --config vtsd.conf
NOTE: You might need to add also --registry parameter, and point it to
previously compiled VTS-Registry.
Description of the configuration file can be found in our user documentation.
The server is not intended to be exposed to the Internet as it is, instead it's advised to hide it behind e.g. NGINX server.
Check the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
