Installing

By default, binaries are provided and no external dependencies or compile is needed.

Just do:

npm install osmium

We currently provide binaries for 64 bit OS X and 64 bit Linux. Running npm install on other platforms will fall back to a source compile (see Developing below for build details).

Usage

See the tutorial for an introduction. There are some demo applications in the 'demo' directory. See the README.md there. You can also have a look at the tests in the test directory.

Developing

If you wish to develop on node-osmium you can check out the code and then build like:

git clone https://github.com/osmcode/node-osmium.git
cd node-osmium
make

Testing

npm install mocha
make test
