Cuis

Aiming to have a simple and dependency-free tool to visualize PostGIS queries I started this project. QGIS is an enormously more powerful and complex but usually is a bit a pain in the @=! to download and install all those things just to see the result of a simple PostGIS query on a map, particularly on Mac OS (November 2017).

There is another similar project which I consider to fork but I didn't and started this one from scratch because I wanted to be able to run the ¿stack? both as a desktop application and as a client-server web application.

That's the why.

Install

We provide two ways to use Cuis. One is a previously built desktop application, batteries included. The other one is a local client-server Node.js Express application.

Desktop app

Download the app for your platform (Linux / Mac / Windows).

Local client server

Requirements

• Node.js >= 6. Download

  To check your Node.js version run node -v

• yarn package manager.

  With Node 6+ installed run npm install -g yarn.

• Optional. git. Download

  If you don't want to install anything else just download the source code as a zip file, unzip it and skip git clone step.
