Installation

npm install --save deck.gl

Note: deck.gl has a dependency on node version 0.12 or higher. If you use an older version, you can install a node version manager like nvm and use a separate shell to install and build deck.gl

npm install -g nvm && nvm install 0.12 && nvm use 0.12

Example

import DeckGL from 'deck.gl/react';
import {ArcLayer} from 'deck.gl';

const flights = new ArcLayer({
  id: 'flights',
  data: [] // Some flight points
});

<DeckGL width={1920} height={1080} layers={[flights]} />

Developing

npm install
npm test

Node Version Requirement

Building deck.gl from source has a dependency on node version 0.12 or higher. If you use an older version, you can install a node version manager like nvm and use a separate shell to install and build deck.gl.

npm install -g nvm && nvm install 0.12 && nvm use 0.122

This is not an issue when installing deck.gl, only when building it from source.
