Installation

Note: for Ubuntu follow procedure Ubuntu from scratch

Note: for a Windows installation follow procedure Installing on Windows

Create a geo aware database. See Geodjango doc for backend installation.

Create a virtual environment

virtualenv umap
source umap/bin/activate

Install dependencies and project

pip install umap-project

Create a default local settings file

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/umap-project/umap/master/umap/settings/local.py.sample -O local.py

Reference it as env var:

export UMAP_SETTINGS=`pwd`/local.py

Add database connection information in local.py, for example

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
        'NAME': 'umap',
    }
}

Add a SECRET_KEY in local.py with a long random secret key

SECRET_KEY = "a long and random secret key that must not be shared"

uMap uses python-social-auth for user authentication. So you will need to configure it according to your needs. For example

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'social_auth.backends.contrib.github.GithubBackend',
    'social_auth.backends.contrib.bitbucket.BitbucketBackend',
    'social_auth.backends.twitter.TwitterBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
GITHUB_APP_ID = 'xxx'
GITHUB_API_SECRET = 'zzz'
BITBUCKET_CONSUMER_KEY = 'xxx'
BITBUCKET_CONSUMER_SECRET = 'zzz'
TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY = "xxx"
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET = "yyy"

Example of callback URL to use for setting up OAuth apps

http://umap.foo.bar/complete/github/

Adapt the STATIC_ROOT and MEDIA_ROOT to your local environment.

Create the tables

umap migrate

Collect and compress the statics

umap collectstatic
umap compress

Create a superuser

umap createsuperuser

Start the server

umap runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Search

UMap uses PostgreSQL tsvector for searching. In case your database is big, you may want to add an index. For that, you should do so:

# Create a basic search configuration
CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION umapdict (COPY=simple);

# If you also want to deal with accents and case, add this before creating the index
CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;
CREATE EXTENSION btree_gin;
ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION umapdict ALTER MAPPING FOR hword, hword_part, word WITH unaccent, simple;

# Now create the index
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS search_idx ON umap_map USING GIN(to_tsvector('umapdict', name), share_status);

And change UMAP_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION = "umapdict" in your settings.
