sudo apt-get install -y nodejs nodejs-dev npm git build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libwebkitgtk-dev

# Now, either install mapnik latest from packages
# Or see file below for installing mapnik from source
# and skip this line
sudo apt-get install -y libmapnik-dev mapnik-utils

# Set up PostgreSQL/PostGIS
# POSTGRES_VERSION=9.1 # You may need to change this
# POSTGIS_VERSION="1.5.3" # You may need to change this
# sudo apt-get install -y postgresql postgresql-server-dev-$POSTGRES_VERSION postgresql-$POSTGRES_VERSION-postgis
# sudo su postgres

# We lost variables, reset them
# POSTGRES_VERSION=9.1 # You may need to change this
# POSTGIS_VERSION="1.5" # You may need to change this
# createuser <your user> # Yes to super
# createdb template_postgis
# createlang -d template_postgis plpgsql # you may not need this
# POSTGIS_PATH=`pg_config --sharedir`/contrib/postgis-$POSTGIS_VERSION
# psql -d template_postgis -f $POSTGIS_PATH/postgis.sql
# psql -d template_postgis -f $POSTGIS_PATH/spatial_ref_sys.sql
# exit

# Install from package manager (or, build it from source below)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:developmentseed/mapbox
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tilemill

# OR

# Build TileMill
cd /usr/local/
sudo git clone https://github.com/mapbox/tilemill.git
cd tilemill
sudo npm install

# If you are running a desktop server then just boot using all the defaults
./index.js # should open a window automatically, but you can also view at http://localhost:20009

# If you are running a headless server then the easiest thing to do
#  to get a visual look at the running application is to tunnel using ssh.
# Do this from your local machine:
TILEMILL_HOST=<remote-ip>
ssh -CA ubuntu@${TILEMILL_HOST} -L 20009:localhost:20009 -L 20008:localhost:20008

# If you are using AWS then you can also pass `-i your.pem`
#  then on the remove machine do
./index.js --server=true
# Now TileMill is available on your local machine at http:://localhost:20009

mapnik-from-source.sh

# Or, install proj4 latest and then mapnik from source:
# wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip

# We use trunk instead for better threading support
# svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/trunk/proj proj-trunk # at the time pre-release 4.8.0
# cd proj-trunk/nad
# unzip -o ../../proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip
# cd ../
# ./configure
# make
# make install
