Getting Started

• Designed to be used with Amazon RDS to hold all the heatmap point information & Amazon S3 to host the generated tiles
• Change the required information within rds_config.py accordingly
• Maybe recompile heatmap.c?
• Set up a PostGIS-enabled DB on Amazon RDS that has your heatmap points loaded in
• Calibrate
• Run generate.py!
• Enjoy

Compiling heatmap.c

• You might need to recompile heatmaps/heatmap_c/heatmap.c for your own machine into a new version of libHeatmap.so
• If on OS X, try "gcc -Wall -Wextra -O -ansi -pedantic -shared heatmap.c -o libHeatmap.so"
• If on Linux, try "gcc -c -Wall -Werror -fpic heatmap.c", followed by "gcc -shared -o libHeatmap.so heatmap.o"
