How to enable backend rendering?

[hijiangtao]

I am sorry about disturbing your guys here, since I didn't find an appropriate way to contact you about the usage and valuable features in mapd's community version. And I may also raise the issue in a inappropriate sub-repo of mapd...

The thing I want to know is that how to enable backend rendering in mapd? I don't know whether I should open it by setting something specifically, or it's only a valuable feature for enterprise version?

Thanks for your hard work for contributing to this excellent product. :-)

Hi @hijiangtao,
Imo, this might not be an issue. Rendering is not included in the open source version, but only in the (prebuilt) community and enterprise editions. Pls put your question here in future.

OK, thanks very much. Sorry for my silly question again. :-)

We are currently looking at adding infrastructure so that OS users can download the rendering object files as a binary to enable the functionality. Please stay tuned!

@tmostak Thanks for your guys' contributions on that, I will keep an eye on it. Currently, I will try to use community version on this functionality. :-)
