# Windshaft-CartoDB [](https://travis-ci.org/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb)
|
|
|
|
This is the [`CARTO Maps API`](http://docs.cartodb.com/cartodb-platform/maps-api.html) tiler. It extends [`Windshaft`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft) and exposes a complete web service with extra functionality:
|
|
|
|
* Instantiate [`Anonymous Maps`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/03-anonymous-maps.md) through CARTO's map configuration ([`MapConfig`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft/blob/master/doc/MapConfig-specification.md)).
|
|
* Create [`Named Maps`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/04-named-maps.md) based on customizables templates.
|
|
* Get map previews through [`Static Maps`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/05-static-maps-API.md) API.
|
|
* Render maps with large amount of data faster using [`Tile Aggregation`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/06-tile-aggregation.md).
|
|
* Build advanced maps with enriched data through [`Analyses Extension`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/09-MapConfig-analyses-extension.md).
|
|
* Fetch tabular data from analysis nodes with [`Dataviews`](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft-cartodb/blob/master/docs/guides/10-MapConfig-dataviews-extension.md)
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
* [`Node 10.x (npm 6.x)`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/)
|
|
* [`PostgreSQL >= 10.0`](https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
|
|
* [`PostGIS >= 2.4`](https://postgis.net/install/)
|
|
* [`CARTO Postgres Extension >= 0.24.1`](https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb-postgresql)
|
|
* [`Redis >= 4`](https://redis.io/download)
|
|
* libcairo2-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libjpeg8-dev and libgif-dev for server side canvas support
|
|
* C++11 (to build internal dependencies if needed)
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
|
|
* [`Varnish`](http://www.varnish-cache.org)
|
|
* [`Statsd`](https://github.com/statsd/statsd)
|
|

### PostGIS setup
|
|
|
|
A `template_postgis` database is expected. One can be set up with
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ createdb --owner postgres --template template0 template_postgis
|
|
$ psql -d template_postgis -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis;'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install
|
|
|
|
To fetch and build all node-based dependencies, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ npm ci
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run
|
|
|
|
Create the `./config/environments/<env>.js` file (there are `.example` files to start from). Look at `./lib/cartodb/server-options.js` for more on config.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ node app.js <env>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `<env>` is the name of a configuration file under `./config/environments/`.
|

## Developing with a custom windshaft version
|
|
|
|
If you plan or want to use a custom / not released yet version of windshaft (or any other dependency) the best option is to use `npm link`. You can read more about it at `npm-link`: [symlink a package folder](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link.html).
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cd /path/to/Windshaft
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
$ npm link
|
|
$ cd /path/to/Windshaft-cartodb
|
|
$ npm link windshaft
|
|
```
|
|
