Quantumnik - Mapnik output for Quantum GIS

-
What is it?. I didn't attend FOSS4G 2011 but searching the around 'FOSS' blogs there is quite a buzz regarding the Mapnik 2.0 release. Mapnik is a free cross platform toolkit for creating desktop and web mapping applications, it uses the AGG library which enables first class anti-aliasing and rendering with subpixel accuracy for geographical data. 'Quantumnik' brings this technology to Quantum GIS in the form of a 'plug-in'. More information about 'Quantumnik' and of Dane Springmeyer the creator of the plug-in can be found here:

It's quite easy to find installation instructions for most Ubuntu versions but it's nice to check they still apply to the most recent release (15.04 at the time writing). I tested this yesterday and it still works for me. My thanks to Hongru Hou (link at the end of the article for full details). Install Apache2 (if not installed):-   sudo apt-get install apache2   sudo apt-get update Test Apache2 web server is working:- sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart Install Java 7 using the 'Webupd8team' repository:- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java then:- sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer   (takes about 10 minutes to download) Install Tomcat7 (because it is GeoServer Web archive this replaces the missing Java Servlet of this edition)   sudo apt-get install tomcat7 then in order for tomcat7 to find JDK we need to open and amend one line:- sudo vi /etc/default/tomcat7...
