Mapbox Studio is the modern alternative to Mapbox Studio Classic: if you're starting out and creating a map today, we recommend starting with Mapbox Studio rather than Mapbox Studio Classic.
Desktop application for vector tile driven map design.
Install node v0.10.x. Then
git clone https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-studio-classic.git
cd mapbox-studio-classic
npm install
npm start
Mapbox Studio Classic ships with pre-built binaries for common platforms:
- 32 and 64 bit Windows
- 64 bit OS X
- 64 bit Linux
The minimum platforms versions are:
- Windows >= 7
- OS X >= 10.8
- Ubuntu >= 14.04 (Trusty)
- RHEL/Centos >= 7
Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) can be supported by upgrading libstdc++:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update -q
sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++6
If packages like node-mapnik fail to install then you are likely running a platform for which no binaries are available. In this case you will need to build these packages from source (Feel free to create a github issue to ask for help).
You can do this like:
npm install --build-from-source
The docs offer both a step-by-step guide to creating your first projects in Mapbox Studio Classic and detailed information about styling and creating vector sources.
