Welcome to Mapnik!

Quickstart

• Install the "Mapnik.pkg" and "GDAL_Complete.dmg".

• Then enable the Mapnik python and node bindings by simply adding these lines to your ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile:

  MAPNIK=/Library/Frameworks/Mapnik.framework
  export PATH=$MAPNIK/Programs:$PATH
  export NODE_PATH=$MAPNIK/Node:$NODE_PATH
  export PYTHONPATH=$MAPNIK/Python:$PYTHONPATH

• Finally, test your installation via Python:

   Open the Terminal.app and confirm that below command returns 'True':

  $ python -c "import mapnik2; print 'Mapnik.framework' in mapnik2.__file__"

   If it does then Mapnik is installed correctly and you can head to http://mapnik.org for documentation.
