Rendering a basic OpenStreetMap image on Ubuntu 20.04
I’ve been playing around with OSM data lately, and it’s really quite difficult to get started with it. Here’s a bash script that you can drop on a fresh AWS EC2 instance running Ubuntu 20.04 and you should end up with an image.png in your home folder after about 20 minutes, showing a nice little map of NYC.
You can choose any data source (just download an .osm.pbf formatted file into the home directory), but here I’m getting an Interline OSM extract for New York. To run this script verbatim, you need to get an API key from them and paste it below.
# Your interline token
export TOKEN="..."
export BOUNDS="(-74.11754608154298,40.69599751931472,-73.85696411132814,40.84450145446744)"
# Download OSM data extract
wget -O data.osm.pbf "https://app.interline.io/osm_extracts/download_latest?string_id=new-york_new-york&data_format=pbf&api_token=$TOKEN"
