Developer Set‐up
Before we start creating our own tiles, we're going to need to go over some of the external programs and set-up to get our auto-generation scripts up and running.
Luckily we'll only need three programs, that being SASPlanet, OSGeo4W and ImageMagick, starting with SAS planet which can be found here: https://sasplanet.geojamal.com/2024/08/download-sas-planet-2024-explore-world.html
As of (05/01/2025) use the 3rd link there, the Download the Full Version with Fixed Map Errors.
Extract it to your desktop, press G and verify the google satellite imagery is visible.
OSGeo4W can be found here https://www.osgeo.org/projects/osgeo4w/ and includes a variety of GIS tools, including GDAL which will be vital for re-projecting imagery.
If you can, it is ideal install OSGeo4W on your C: drive, as this is the default path in the scripts.
ImageMagick can be found here https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php
If you don't have python, now's the time to install it, https://www.python.org/.
I personally used Python 3.11.4, but other versions will probably work.
Use pip install to download

If you don't have Visual Studio Code I'd highly advise you do that as well as it'll make managing the scripts incredibly easy.
