iD - friendly JavaScript editor for OpenStreetMap

Basics

• iD is a JavaScript OpenStreetMap editor.
• It's intentionally simple. It lets you do the most basic tasks while not breaking other people's data.
• It supports modern browsers. Data is rendered with d3.js.

Participate!

• Read the project Code of Conduct and remember to be nice to one another.
• Read up on Contributing and the code style of iD.
• See open issues in the issue tracker if you're looking for something to do.
• Translate!
• Test a prerelease version of iD:
  • Stable mirror of release branch: http://openstreetmap.us/iD/release
  • Development mirror of master branch: http://openstreetmap.us/iD/master

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 0.10.0 or newer
• Command line development tools (make, git, and a compiler) for your platform
  • Ubuntu:
    • sudo apt-get install build-essential git
  • Mac OS X:
    • Install Xcode and run xcode-select --install from a command line
  • Windows (Cygwin):
    • Install Git for Windows
    • Install Cygwin - choose default packages + make, wget, apache2 (needed for updated mime type list)
    • Optionally, install apt-cyg for managing your Cygwin packages
    • Edit ~/.bashrc:
      Put Git for Windows before Cygwin in PATH, otherwise npm install may fail to fetch git repositories
      

      export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/:$PATH

    • Edit ~/.gitconfig:
      Add these lines to avoid checking in files with CRLF newlines
