Manually building a tile server

This page describes how to install, setup and configure all the necessary software to operate your own tile server. The step-by-step instructions are written for Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), however they should transfer fairly straightforwardly to other versions of Ubuntu or Linux distributions.

##Software installation The OSM tile server stack is a collection of programs and libraries that work together to create a tile server. As so often with OpenStreetMap, there are many ways to achieve this goal and nearly all of the components have alternatives that have various specific advantages and disadvantages. This tutorial describes the most standard version that is also used on the main OpenStreetMap.org tile server.

This guide covers installation of osm2pgsql, loading a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database, and rendering tiles for an online webmap.The database can also be used to [develop stylesheets], or render data with other software.

Before starting you want t

	# First, clear out any old mapnik or node.js installs that might conflict
	sudo apt-get purge libmapnik libmapnik-dev mapnik-utils nodejs npm

	# Also clear out any old ppa's that might conflict
	sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mapnik
	sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/developmentseed
	sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea

	# add new ppa's
	sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/node.js
