Installing the Frontend (Website)

Installing and Hosting the Website Locally

OSM Finder's frontend is what makes it possible to generate PostgreSQL queries using a simple drag-and-drop interface to run in the backend database. Follow the instructions below if you'd like to host the website locally on your computer. This can be useful if you've defined your own custom categories and subcategories (see creating custom categories for more information). However, most users will be able to simply use the public frontend hosted here without hosting it locally.

1. Download the entire project repository.
   git clone https://github.com/Xetnus/osm-finder.git

2. Change into the directory: cd osm-finder

3. Install Node version >= 14.18.0 (if not already installed). Confirm your installation with node -v

4. Install dependencies: npm install

5. Start the server: npm run dev

6. Assuming the server started successfully, you should now see the web URL to access the website locally.
