Maputnik Desktop

---

A Golang based cross platform executable for integrating Maputnik locally. This binary packages up the JavaScript and CSS bundle produced by maputnik/editor and embeds it in the program for easy distribution. It also allows exposing a local style file and work on it both in Maputnik and with your favorite editor.

Install

You can download a single binary for Linux, OSX or Windows from the latest releases of maputnik/editor.

Usage

Simply start up a web server and access the Maputnik editor GUI at localhost:8000.

maputnik

Expose a local style file to Maputnik allowing the web based editor to save to the local filesystem.

maputnik --file basic-v9.json

Watch the local style for changes and inform the editor via web socket. This makes it possible to edit the style with a local text editor and still use Maputnik.

maputnik --watch --file basic-v9.json

Choose a local port to listen on, instead of using the default port 8000.

maputnik --port 8001

Specify a path to a directory which, if it exists, will be served under http://localhost:8000/static/ . Could be used to serve sprites and glyphs.

maputnik --static ./localFolder
