A multipurpose command line tool for working with OpenStreetMap data based on the Osmium library.

Official web site: http://osmcode.org/osmium-tool/

Prerequisites

You need a C++11 compliant compiler. GCC 4.8 and later as well as clang 3.6 and later are known to work. It also works on modern Visual Studio C++ compilers.

You also need the following libraries:

Libosmium (>= 2.12.1)
    http://osmcode.org/libosmium
    Debian/Ubuntu: libosmium2-dev

Protozero (>= 1.4.5)
    This is included in the libosmium repository and might or might not
    have been installed with it. See the libosmium README.
    https://github.com/mapbox/protozero
    Debian/Ubuntu: protozero
    Fedora: protozero-devel

Utfcpp
    This is included in the libosmium repository and might or might not
    have been installed with it. See the libosmium README.
    http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/
    Debian/Ubuntu: libutfcpp-dev
    openSUSE: utfcpp
    Fedora: utf8cpp-devel

RapidJSON (>= 1.1)
    This is included in the osmium-tool repository, so you usually do
    not need to install this.
    http://rapidjson.org/
    Debian/Ubuntu: rapidjson-dev

boost-program-options (>= 1.55)
    http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/program_options.html
    Debian/Ubuntu: libboost-program-options-dev

boost-crc
    http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/crc/
    Debian/Ubuntu: libboost-dev

bz2lib
    http://www.bzip.org/
    Debian/Ubuntu: libbz2-dev
    Fedora: bzip2-devel
    CentOS: bzip2-devel

zlib
    http://www.zlib.net/
    Debian/Ubuntu: zlib1g-dev
    openSUSE: zlib-devel
    Fedora: zlib-devel
    CentOS: zlib-devel

Expat
    http://expat.sourceforge.net/
    Debian/Ubuntu: libexpat1-dev
    openSUSE: libexpat-devel
    Fedora: expat-devel
    CentOS: expat-devel

cmake
    http://www.cmake.org/
    Debian/Ubuntu: cmake
    openSUSE: cmake
    Fedora: cmake

Pandoc
    (Needed to build documentation, optional)
    http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
    Debian/Ubuntu: pandoc
    openSUSE: pandoc
    Fedora: pandoc

Building

Osmium uses CMake for its builds. For Unix/Linux systems a simple Makefile wrapper is provided to make the build even easier. Just type make to compile. Results will be in the build directory.

Or you can go the long route explicitly calling CMake as follows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

To set the build type call cmake with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type. Possible values are empty, Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, MinSizeRel, and Dev. The default is RelWithDebInfo.

Documentation

See the Osmium Tool website and Osmium Tool Manual.

There are man pages in the 'man' directory. To build them you need 'pandoc'. If the pandoc command was found during the CMake config step, the manpages will be built automatically.

Tests

Call ctest in the build directory to run the tests after build.

More extensive tests of the libosmium I/O system can also be run. See test/io/Makefile.in for instructions.
