Installation

Dependencies

To build, you need a Linux-like environment with bash, wget, unzip, etc. You also need python for the editor crate to build, and osmosis for the import script.

At runtime if you want to use the screen-capture plugin, you need scrot.

One-time setup

In the future, I'll set up Github binary releases for multiple platforms.

1. Install Rust, at least 1.31. https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

2. Download the repository: git clone https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet.git

3. Download all input data and build maps. Compilation times will be very slow at first. cd abstreet; ./import.sh

4. Optional: Speed up map loading: ./precompute.sh. Don't be alarmed if many maps don't successfully convert.

Running

There's a bit more to it, but the basics:

cd editor; cargo run ../data/maps/montlake_no_edits.abst
