Installation

Dependencies

To build, you need a Linux-like environment with bash, wget, unzip, etc. You also 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
